Comment (by goldfire):

 No. My thought is that the TH interface should (barring some large
 disaster) remain stable from the RC to the released version. That way,
 packages that use TH can test against the RC and be confident that their
 code will work against the release. Even if I were to implement it today
 (no plans to), I wouldn't recommend merging. I created the ticket just as
 a reminder (to anyone) that this should be done.
