I have two things in mind here: one is that we want to get 3.0 out the door
but the other is that the API lifetime should be quite long. That means that
BIC changes *need* to go in right NOW, because otherwise the whole features
can't be put in at *all* later during the 3.x cycle.
Please keep that in mind and do your decisions based on that need, please :)
That will make our lifetime this year a lot easier. Features in the libs but
not so much on the application side if it breaks too much/affects
translators/whatever. Application features can be put in during the upgrade
cycle, Library features can't.

We're not a company, we just produce better code at less costs.
