No, you don't have to. I haven't merged that patch nor do I intend to do
so until the regressions are fixed.
And yes, I'm still waiting to hear from you how we're now doing with

General interested question -- I recently "accidentally" read some of
slub and I believe that it doesn't feature the cache colouring support
that slab did? Is that true, and if so, wasn't it needed/useful?
