The only real thing here is that there seem to be quite a lot of
sites (universities at least) that seem to be having auth trouble
at the moment, so the sooner something to help can get into a
released version the better.

It might also help uptake of version 3 - I know there are a number of
sites that are reluctant to jump from FR2 ("risk averse" is the usual
disease), and this might provide a good reason.

But aside from that, doesn't really matter when to me personally!

Cheers,

Matthew
