I told you on chat that I was ok with this. However I'm having second  
doubts... Sorry :)

I'd like to know more why we need to do this now. Why not commit it  
on trunk? It'll be in 1.2M1 in 2/3 weeks. Radu's plugin will not be  
integrated/cleaned up/etc before that time anyway and even then it  
would still work with 1.1 users, it's only a matter of installation.

I don't think we should rush this. It's not so much a question of  
taking risks or not that doing a precedent. If we do this now, then  
we're breaking our RC rule and it'll happen again in the future (I  
think we could potentially remove betas and RCs in the future when we  
have 70% or more covered by automated tests but we're not there yet.

So, unless there's a good reason I haven't seen, I'd rather not  
commit this right now on the 1.1 branch.

WDYT?

Thanks
-Vincent
