I will review whether ABI is satisfied later this week, don't let that stop other reviewers from pounding on this change. I still propose a "State of the /trunk" release candidate this week, eyeing only an -alpha release to the public, so that all of the aspects of trunk which now vary from 2.4.x maintenance branch can be thoroughly inspected by those users who are willing to do so. So any feature that feels "experimental" or simply untested will receive some additional eyeballs, and we can start to address any deficiencies without continuing to disrupt 2.4.x stable in the process. I will make this tag later in the week, holler if you see something you want to and and *will* address over the remainder of this week, I'm willing to pause 7-10 days to let some things be corrected. I'd like to make this a monthly exercise, so what is missed can be fixed for end of Nov. It will be good to have all these enhancements shared with the community, even if only at -alpha level recognition for a bit.
