Originally, I had suggested considering the switch after the 2.6/3.0  
release.  I still think switching "soonish" after a major release is a  
good time (soonish can be 3 months, like we're now considering).  It  
definitely would /not/ be a good idea to switch anytime before a major  
release.  So if we defer the decision now, I think we need to look at  
the release calendar before choosing another window for the switch.
