My take is that it's just too dangerous to do now, especially since we should 
already have released XE 2.2M2 and we're late. I don't think there's any value 
in taking unnecessary risks at this point.

Personally I'd much rather wait for XE 2.3M1 (i.e a few days since we'll create 
a branch at the end of this week - I also need that branch to continue my work 
on references which I have also stopped last Thursday in order to not cause 
more unnecessary risks).

So I'd be -1 right now since I don't see a compelling reason to do that now. If 
everyone else agrees, I'll reconsider my judgement and move that to a -0.

Thanks
-Vincent

PS: If you really want to start committing it now, we can easily do it on a 
branch and merge in a few days. The merge would probably not be hard.
