I've added those items to the list of "maybe" blocking before branching. The first one in particular is worth having before, I think, because we don't want to have people try a pre-release with a different API, even if that would probably a marginal portion of people. The second one is mostly to avoid getting reports of this not working when we already know. I could mention this as a known issue, but it looks like we're not far from a resolution, so, might as well wait. > I'll go to Linaro Connect next week.

Say - we could re-evaluate the situation on March 20th... -- Joel
