One more time, sorry :) If I'm reading things right Vladimir and 
I would like this to be part of 5.20, Paolo is okay with that,
Jay would prefer to delay it until 5.21.

Is that right?

My preference for 5.20 is because we do have active users reporting
problems in stable, and by moving to 5.21 we're delaying things by
2 weeks. At the same time, 5.20 vs 5.21 doesn't matter as we intend 
to hit stable users with these change before either of those is out.
