AFAICS the bug was introduced by 9df86e2e702c6 back in 2010. If the bug has been there for 7 years so waiting for a few more weeks should not hurt. And Pavel can also submit it to the stable release, it should apply without problems as wl1251 doesn't have had that many patches during the last few years (if ever). -- Kalle Valo
