Yes, it's important to understand that there will be MASSIVE resistance
to changing the C++ ABI very soon again after 3.2, so it will be really
bad if 3.3-pre will already break it.

Bear in mind, I thought the only reason to do a 3.2 release is so that 3.3 can be compatible with it. If it isn't then is there _any_ reason to do a 3.2 release?
