Close to merge is a matter of opinion?  Has this been verified to perform or satisfy the customer case?  Are we really going to release a patch to a customer that will then have a different solution upstream?  Seems like a really bad idea, no?

Only customer issues I am aware of are the duplication of logs upon journal rotation and possible regression when changing journal config on-the-fly and both are verified as resolved with current build, so unless you have some other inputs we are going to release it.
