I'm in favour of scalability, of course, but are they really simple
enough to put in for 8.3? I was under the impression that there was
a push on to get the thing shipped, and adding incremental changes
near the end of the cycle strikes me as a possible source of
significant additional surprises (and therefore delays). I am no
code expert, though; I just wanted to be sure there's consensus on
the simplicity of the changes.
