# Also, Please update the release note for this feature.Sure, we can update the release note if code merge.Probably you can send v1 version next i.e change the RFC status to get merged.Sure, we will send v1 patch if no obvious objection for that, hope patchcould receive some ACKs and could success to merge, thanks.quoted
How did you test this work? UNH recently started testing with ASAN and it reveals leaks just in the unit test. Merging these annotations will help catch more issues. But users will hit the current issues that we must fix first.As far as i can tell, the regular build is not affected by this patch, so no issues will be hit until someone actually runs the test. IMO it's better to merge it early to catch more issues than to gate the feature on the condition that we fix all bugs unrelated to this feature first.
Thanks for review and good feedback.
