Indeed, there's not much in this patch ... but it's impossible to see
how "run on an entirely new platform" isn't a new feature.  Moreover,
it's a platform that very few of us will have any ability to support
or debug for.  I can't see how it's a good idea to shove this in
post-feature-freeze.  Let's plan to push it in when v17 opens.
