I was hoping for a feature freeze - by my maint branch merge.
[and Barry agreed to that :). See the text of the post: "[petsc-dev] plans for PETSc release"]

Irrespective the maint issue - the changes are not yet tested in
next. Even if its tested in tonights next - they would be untested in
maint/master.

So I can't  do both - merge them tomorrow and spin a tarball tomorrow.

Then there should be no problem with scheduling them for 3.7.1

one issue : does Jed consider changes to
include/petsc/private/tsimpl.h as API/ABI change and object..
