The changes are being wrangled part of one of those few projects that we are
not doing completely in the open, and I can't comment further on the "why"
of that. That said, I can state that the changes are pretty mundane and
won't suddenly appear in a production viewer without going through
viewer-development first - they'll land there just like any other patches
and work their way through the normal release process.
