Well, I was about *releasing* the version, and don't intend to postpone it 
significantly, so no there won't be any surprise last-minute changes than the 
ones already documented in MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT. After all, major version 
numbers are cheap, so if during the next dev cycle 3.1dev turns out to need 
API breaks, it will be 4.0 ...
