I don't doubt it. I'm just curious about risk, really. If it's a huge  
hunk-o-changes, maybe we want to hold up and not do it (or only grab  
some of the changes) for 1.0.x, which should IMO focus on stability at  
this point, what with 1.1 almost out.

We (I) really, really don't want to have to do a 1.0.6. Ugh.
