As it's not a bug it certainly wouldn't be appropriate to try and
release as part of back-branches, not to mention that you'd have to
hand-hack in the catalog changes to add such a role to an existing
cluster anyway...

So, no, it's not a bugfix and won't be added to existing releases.
There isn't any guarantee it makes it into v14 either, to be clear, but
having people review it, apply it, test it, play with it, and provide
feedback would certainly help.

Naturally, if there's other things in this vein (or any other, really)
that folks would like, patches welcome.

Thanks,

Stephen
