I posted the reasons a while ago:  Richard didn't like some details of
the implementation, but simply following through on his suggestions
would result in a sucky system.  Thus it appears that yet-another
exhausting flame-war/discussion is called for, and with the pressure
of the release coming, it simply doesn't seem reasonable to rush it in
and subsequently be stuck supporting something horrible.

I'd rather get the release out quickly and do this stuff right.

I'll write up a quick summary of the issue, but I _really_ don't want
to have it devolve into an argument; if it's really contentious, I
think it should wait.
