Hah, the ol' "it's already broken, we can't possibly make it worse" argument. :-) It's ultimately up to re@ at this point, but personally I think adding a last minute patch to loader primarily for a feature that we'd also have to rush in as well is too risky. A lot has changed in -HEAD over the last few weeks and in my opinion we should let the dust settle and get people using the latest -HEAD before trying out even more new stuff. We can always back-port it to -10 (and -9 if people want) later on in the year. -adrian
