I'm glad for APC, but this is a separate project (or a sub-project, whatever).

Right, but saying that we should be especially careful because this patch may affect company XXX makes no sense to me.
Either this company is interested in this patch and helps us to make it better, or we follow the usual development process
(i.e. try to make it as better as we can and release when it's ready, but we don't test it for years to stabilize it).

Well, for not very complex scripts most of the engine improvements are not very interesting.
