I'd just like to note that the discussion about the feature was only
triggered by the beta, despite Eric and I making some effort to start one
when the patches first went in. So it's a nasty trap, that any other
feature like this could also wind up needing two release cycles to
actually get in.
So personally, I'd be inclined to spend a bit longer in the beta cycle,
get this right and tested, and be done with it. But I may be biased :-)
Cheers,
Ganesh
