SN74LV4T125: Thermal Pad Connection for SN74LV4T125RGY

Part Number: SN74LV4T125

Is it acceptable to connect the thermal pad for the RGY package variant of SN74LV4T125 to GND?

It doesn't state in the datasheet what this pin internally connects to, and whether or not it is allowed to be connected to anything. By default I would assume therefore we must leave it unconnected, however in a current design it would make routing considerably easier if it is acceptable to connect to GND.
