YES PLEASE! but then, well, I'm a bit biased as I needed this patch
and Ingo Molnar made this wonderfull small hack for us/me...
and as 2.2.0 probably will take quite some more time to get out of the door,
I still would like to see this in 2.0.33+ (I know: feature freeze:(
as this is a really nice and usefull tool in production environments
which need nice level for more usefull things than (still usefull) idle tasks...
