Well, that's the third option; if someone has time to finish up the
PREFIXES idea and get it working in time for 2.7. Tarek had said if
Wolodja wasn't available to keep working on it, it might not get done
quickly enough for 2.7 and might need to be postponed. So I'd been
assuming we wouldn't have that... but if we do, that mitigates pretty
much all my concerns.
