This is a big change and some breakage is inevitable. Most bugs will
probably only be found once the software is released and deployed.

When a big milestone gets bogged down by months (if not years) of
"blocking bugs", my understanding is that it will simply never get
released, and users might as well resort to using git master / nightly
builds at that point.

(Any possible allusion to *other* big open source software projects is
purely coincidental)
