I don't know. Releases are also energetic times, when people become more active -- and it's not always activity that can be redirected to fixing bugs, unfortunately :/ So if we're too strict, we might lose some of that without it going in other productive directions. The local-eval thing was not satisfying for many reasons, and it did delay the release. Still, it's good to have it in and settled. > What do you think?
