I am. I restrict myself to changes that address

a) security issues
b) problems that cause Squid to abort which I can verify via Squid
   bugzilla

I definitely try to leave out the bleeding edge code changes, rest
assured. Since 2.6 is not yet the default Squid port, I do include
changes that address e.g. known issues in optional components like COSS
more liberally because I do not want my users to stay out in the cold
when they try to test these components and let them run into already
known issues.

I hope this is OK with you.
