Unfortunatly, there's the possibility of people thinking
"I'll fix it properly in 2.7, and backport", during which time,
2.6 doesn't get fixed any faster. People diving into 2.7 development
and leaving 2.6 to those that actually care about stabilising it was
Linus' concern if I understood correctly at the summit.
