For those following along at home, I've been watching this, and I'll make sure these bits are reviewed and land in a timely fashion. > we can likely physically get those changes into the archive in time for the > release, there would be next to no time to test this nor provide appropriate > regression testing on other platforms.

I'm a big fan of caution when it comes to the bits that make people's computers either boot or completely fail to, as it's pretty hard to fix boot errors after shipping them. So, yes, a delay for a week while all this is landed and tested seems entirely reasonable to me. Will push the release to Feb 9 instead. ...
