I have only one thought: is it really a good idea to make this change a 
few days before you cut the release branch (if I take the tentative 
schedule seriously)?

I'm afraid of the possibility that some configurations that aren't
tested too frequently might become broken by this change, and that the 
responsible maintainers will not become aware of that until it's too 
late.
