Thank you.  I think that is a good decision.

I would prefer that we go to a non-conforming -- but approximately
working -- implementation sooner, if that is possible.  If we can turn
on V3 approximately now, and not make things a whole lot more
non-conforming than they already are with V2, that would be a good
thing.

I want to reach approximate functional completeness, slush the
sources, finish functional details, and branch. 

The V3 switchover is gating the new ABI switchover.  Once both of
those have happenned you and I will be wicked busy fixing bugs, but I
will be a happy camper because otherwise we won't even know those bugs
exist. :-(

Thanks,
