i think thats going to need some wide testing before ill change it,
certain distributions are counting on me not gratuitously breaking
things, and ive stated many times i will not make major or risky
changes to 1.x, even if it means it stays crippled until we get 2.0.
(hint, help with 2.0).

and my experience in dealing with 1.x is that every time any little
thing gets changed it fucks something up somewhere.

id release a -pre or something, but since everyone ignores them i
won't.
