It's not like there's some magic dust that we sprinkle on the code at
release time ;-).  If there's a problem with that patch, it's much more
likely that you'd discover it through field testing than that we would
notice it during development (we missed the original problem after all).
So you can do that field testing now, or after 10.2 comes out.  The
former seems preferable, if you are comfortable with building a patched
copy at all.  I don't know what your normal source of Postgres executables
is, but all the common packaging technologies make it pretty easy to
rebuild a package from source with patch(es) added.  Modifying your
vendor's SRPM (or equivalent concept if you're not on Red Hat) is a
good skill to have.
