I think that every app using cookies would like to have this patch merged ASAP, expecially browsers.
This will help/fix/improve features like "private browsing" and so on.
So please don't let us wait for the "big Universe reordering" to have it. :)

can you explain why it must go into 4.8? it's been waiting since 4.6, and i
didn't find a description of what requires it in 4.8 ...

as far as i can see, it's a feature enhancement that isn't strictly required
by anything (though it is very nice to have indeed), so it should go into the
frameworks branch.
