We have delayed releases for $COOL_FEATURE in the past, and I think
our batting average on that is still .000: not once has it worked out
well. I think we're better off getting the pain over with quickly,
so I regretfully vote for revert. And for a full redesign/rewrite
before we try again; based on Andres' comments, it needs that.
