Imo it has been wrong in the past to rush in new features (even if experimental ones) very close to the freeze, and it has mislead people to think they can delay work until very (too?) late a point in time. In fact I'm getting somewhat angry seeing how much effort is put into getting this work in (including myself doing reviews there), when at the same time far older series of mine aren't given any chance to make any progress. Not your fault, sure, but an observation. Jan
