IIUC, the buildfarm script patch is only needed to avoid duplicate
tests.  So owners need only install it if they want to reduce wasted
cycles on their machines.  That being the case, it's only urgent to
the extent that the individual owner perceives it to be.  Some might
think it is so, so I'd like to see the BF release available before
we push the TAP test ... but we don't have to wait very long between.
