Yes, definitely, if you can attach the test documents.

Well, it also means "all source compatibility with the previous platform has 
been broken, but it's ready to develop new applications on again". For us, it 
was the clear watershed between "we can do anything to this code, we don't 
care about anyone who uses the code except for us" and "if you develop a new 
plugin, we're committed to supporting you from now on". We were pretty careful 
in making that clear in the release announcement.
