IMO we could release a beta with this unfixed, jsut to get rules tested.  WDYT?

6187: ok.  let's fix it.

6203: I don't particularly care either way; if someone wishes to fix
it before release, great.

If you can provoke Michael into a response ;)  and get agreement, then whatever
you guys decide is good.   However I don't think it is safe to delay
beta release
for this, as it's a pretty thorny problem AFAICT.

It does look pretty good, but code-volume-wise I think we would need a CLA.

I suggest we ensure that tickets use these priorities:

P1 = must be fixed before 3.3.0 beta release
P2 = must be fixed before 3.3.0 GA release
P3 = nice to fix before GA, but should not impede things
P4, P5  = not really that important

once we get through all the P1s, we're ready to go ;)
