Well, the best way to handle that might be to get some of this stuff
done before we get too much later into the release cycle, so that
there's time to tinker with it before the release goes out the door
(or is deep in beta). However, if nobody's working on this and the
other patch is someplace far down your to-do list, then I guess that
isn't going to happen.
