I agree this is an important issue, but is there a reason to block the
beta release based on it, except to try and draw attention to the issue?
We do not currently have a regression in this area, and there will be
plenty of beta releases beyond this one to sort this out into.

We certainly should, now Rusty is back on board, set some deadlines for
sorting this out, but I don't think we should tie this internal
technical transition it to particular releases that our users can
otherwise test and enjoy. 

Thanks,
