IMHO, we have a choice ... we either move forward with a change that I
*believe* everyone agrees has to happen, which will prompt someone to come
up with a solution to (again, what I believe) is the only drawback ... or,
we don't implement while waiting for someone to come up with a solution
...

if we wait, again, IMHO, it will never happen, since there is no impetus
for someone to "fix the problem" ...

depending on what it takes to implement, if we implement it now, that
leaves ~1.5mos for someone to come up with a solution before release ...
