Thank you,
your patch was too late in regard to my original deadline and I was
then unavailable for a while.
In the meantime more patches came in and I do not want to waste any of
them just because they were late.
Your patch is applied to the WIP branch now, but currently testing of
-rc1 is going on which I do not want to disrupt.
If we need an -rc2 anyway or generally have the time to do an -rc2
without too much disruption it will be in 19.11.13, otherwise it is
already queued for 19.11.14
