That would be trouble, but considering that we are not even thinking of
going beta before late August, is it really a realistic risk? bison
seems to be making releases quite frequently lately. They were at 1.30
back in November, according to my archives, so that's 19 releases in the
last 8 months.

If we get to August and there's no official release of bison with the
larger table size, then it will be time to worry, IMHO.
