I think we should apply the patch now anyway; we'll want to know that it works 
for backports to the stable branch(es), and in any case the upgrade to 2.7.9 
is not going to be a straightforward task based upon my earlier attempt to 
upgrade to 2.7.6 (the current state of which is still in paule/python276-wip 
in poky-contrib).
