The only way to avoid this happening again and again, imv, is to get it
committed early in whatever cycle it's slated to release for. We've got
some serious challenges there though because we want to encourage
everyone to focus on beta testing and going through the release process,
plus we don't want to tag/branch too early or we create more work for
ourselves.

It would have been nice to get this into 9.3, but I can certainly
understand needing to move it back, but can we get a slightly more
specific plan around getting it in then?

Thanks,

Stephen
