 Maybe the bug smash fund could cover this bug?
 It shouldn't take very long to fix.
 Backwards compatibility might be interesting though.

 Ok, that's what 042-should means: we should do this for 0.4.2, but we can
 release without it.

 > Maybe I should tone down my keyword? It's a bit confusing as it seems to
 me that there are different opinions in the network team about which
 keywords to use: IIRC some think we should only use `tbb-needs` and other
 folks think we should have `tbb-needs` and `tbb-wants` to imply priority
 etc. If the latter is (still) the case then this is probably more a `tbb-
 wants` than `tbb-needs`.

 That's not necessary. Most of us seem to use tbb-* as informational
 keywords.

 The keywords that we use to triage bugfixes are 042-should and 042-must.
