Well, the proposal is on the table, and the implementation is pretty
obvious. If you want to be sticky about the feature freeze rule,
someone could generate a diff to remove the variables and post it to
-patches before July 1, and then it would be fully per-rules to evaluate
it after July 1. I vote not to require ourselves to go through that
pushup.

If Tatsuo can do some testing next week, I'm happy to hold off removing
the variables until then.
