Well, the argument against changing right now is that it would invalidate
portability testing done against beta1, which users would be justifiably
upset about.

I'm +1 for changing both of these things as soon as we branch for v14,
but I feel like it's a bit late for v13. If we aren't feature-frozen
now, when will we be?
