In terms of getting a 2.0 release out, I don't think this is the right 
time to be doing this for such a new feature. I'd much rather have a 
shorter 2.1 cycle (say 6 months) and apply the patch just after branch 
to give it the testing time it requires rather than add more complicated 
#ifdeffery in a critical piece of code.


ATB,

Mark.
