Indeed. We already said that this release was being done *now* because
of the replication bug, and I see no reason to change that. The more
last-minute stuff we try to cram in, the bigger risk of (another)
mistake. We've already taken a credibility hit from introducing a new
bug into the last round of update releases; let's please not take a
risk of doing that again.
