I agree, this is not 2.5 stuff.  If it is not a new feature, it is at

is what we should focus on now in the 2.5_rc phase.

Yeah, lets get 2.6 out sooner - with lesser new features on the plate,
and rather save some goodies for post 2.6 releases - to help the overall
development/release cycles go faster.
