Note that 1.9 is currently scheduled to come out in mid August, so we've
only got two months to go, but still, it does seem like a bit of delay.

Running a shorter release schedule would be fine with me, but as we
don't have any significant work happening in other trees, several people
have suggested that we'd get into a permanent 'release freeze' mode with
very limited space in the schedule for developing, testing and
integrating new work.

I know I don't have the bandwidth to manage this as well as the 1.9
server release, perhaps someone else would? If not, I wonder if we
couldn't have either a separate tree or just a separate branch where
people were pushing these kinds of changes by themselves, at least
they'd be all ready to merge once 1.9 ships.
