Let's bring it up after the release. The dot releases are to fix bugs
in the release -- not add features -- but it's possible we might make
an exception if the whole Java team feels its *vital* and not just
"useful and safe", which is the more common argument.

I think that's something for the Java team to decide. I don't think the
rest of us know enough to say whether its vital that things stay
compatible or not.
