Well, that's the third option; if someone has time to finish up the PREFIXES idea and get it working in time for 2.7. Tarek had said if Wolodja wasn't available to keep working on it, it might not get done quickly enough for 2.7 and might need to be postponed. So I'd been assuming we wouldn't have that... but if we do, that mitigates pretty much all my concerns.
