I concur. I think this patch is too invasive for this point in the
release process.
Adam, Bryce suggested that this time we try to put more changes into
the successive 3.1 releases. I think that's a good idea too (and
hopefully the SC and/or Mark agrees). So this patch is something we
should put in 3.1.1.
One unresolved issue about Bryce's plan is how much importance we give
to binary compatibility. I think it is still early for us to worry
about that, but I could understand why others might disagree. I build
a compiler twice a week, at least, so rebuilding stuff isn't a pain
for me like it might be for other people.
