At 4 weeks before the feature freeze, we pretty much have to vote for the implementation as well. Every feature that requires significant work puts more pressure on a small group of developers and takes their time away from working on stabilizing the existing code base. My no vote is based on looking at the implementation, the size of the patch and the destabilizing changes to the extension API weighed against its benefits. -Rasmus
