Why?  Are you saying that there's some actual risk of breaking
something?  We're not even near beta or feature freeze yet.

I'm not seeing the reason for the "please propose this sooner in the

sooner.  We're not waiting for users to complain anymore; clearly nobody
cared.

I think dragging things forever serves no purpose.
