Hi Owen, Thanks for your offer to review the work I've been doing on compatibility. If pushing back the freeze date will help us stabilize the public API, then I'm OK moving it to 30 April.
On the serialization changes, I'm +1 to backing out the changes since 0.20 rather than trying to get new changes in for 0.21.
