Speaking for the SRU team, I can't provide a hard answer without consulting with other members first, but it sounds like this is the sort of thing that we would make an exception for exactly because it relates to the UX of moving to the next release. Exactly what would or would not be acceptable depends on the details which I understand have yet to be figured out (or, at least, aren't laid out in a bug yet). I encourage you to continue and I'll make sure we give you feedback along the way as necessary so we end up with a solution that's acceptable to everyone. Robie
