No, we shouldn't be further delaying 1.8 in my opinion. I started with the aim of documenting and reviewing how we want 1.8 to behave, but I approached that question by thinking how I'd want local moves to behave, which is a more open-ended question. We need to do that design but we don't need to do it before branching 1.8. We can put that aside for now if a different approach would be quicker. Ideas? Maybe experiment to document how trunk actually behaves at the moment, and review that for any show-stopper issues? - Julian
