One thing we once did in NumPy (for a runtime problem), was to

not break production.
After a long enough time we enabled it for release mode.
Not saying that it was nice, but it was the only alternative would have
been to never fix it.
I like this idea. We'd have to turn it back for RC, and ensure that it's
possible to have working code both before/after the change. We may be
getting enough usage during beta for it to be worthwhile, though we
still have the problem of knock-on effects (where e.g. until NumPy
works, nothing that depends on it can even begin testing).
Cheers,
