This isn't breaking for the sake of breaking either, its applying a bit of pressure to ensure we fix an underlying problem we've had for a long time. I don't think fixing it will be easy, I do think we need to though. Also, the idea never was to have everyone using bleeding edge for shipping products. This is what stable releases are for?
