I think a lot of people weren't aware there was anybody testing this patch
other than Simon and Heikki -- I wasn't until just today. I wonder how many
more people are trying it out?
This is one of the changes for the better from the past. Though I still think
a lot more would try it out once it's committed.
Here's a thought experiment. If it was committable *today* would we be willing
to go with it and plan to release with it? Assume that it would *still* mean a
longer beta process, so it would still mean releasing in, say April instead of
February or March.
While personally I want us to switch to a mode where we commit large patches
early in the development cycle I don't believe we would refuse to commit it
today if it was ready. And I can't imagine two weeks would make the
difference either.
