If the changes are extremely unlikely break existing code that's based
on 1.8, then I probably wouldn't object.

I suppose the hard restriction we have is that we can't change
existing APIs (C or Scheme) in backward incompatible ways during the
stable series.

Of course we could also just shift 1.8 into maintenance mode, start
focusing on the main branch, and plan to release 1.10 sooner.  I'd be
open to that as well.
