I think it sounds great. First of all, I'd like to throw the new version
off to a couple of guys that run 8.2 and could really use it *today*.
Second, that will free up more resources (mainly you) for actual 8.3 beta
review once that happens (hey, one less step to deal with wrt installer!)

I think the main arguments against it would be if there is code in there
now for features in 8.3 that end up getting yanked from 8.3 completely. But
AFAIK there are no such things that are likely to happen.

So again it's a "go for it" from me.
