I don't know if it works for everyone; I said that it works for me...

More generally, that's a question for releng.  I don't even know if the 
patch is in -current yet, which is a prerequisite for it being pulled 
up to the 2.0 branch.  And given how close we are to the release date, 
I don't know that we want yet another delay for this one.  That said, 
it's up to releng; if they don't pull it up, I'll just keep it in my 
tree.
