No problem, the review will be viewable even when closed as committed.
(And I don't plan to shut this server down either.)

wxTextEntry couldn't be backported to 2.8 without breaking its ABI; I'd
have to change the patch to use only 2.8 features (at the cost of extra
ugliness).

For production builds? Then there's no problem, 2.9 should suffice -- as

of the pre-2.9 refactoring that added wxTextEntry.
