Afaics none of the two issues listed on that wiki page are  
regressions. I therefore don't think it is unreasonable to not merge  
changes of which no one knows the overall effects 1 month before the  
final release, with not even a beta release in between.

We have done such things before (like switching the compiler to  
executeprocess shortly before a release because dos.exec had 255 char  
limitations, and then after the release it turned out that in some  
not that uncommon situations executeprocess didn't work properly) and  
we learnt from those mistakes, which is the whole reason why we now  
have a release/merge procedure.
