EZ> John, what is your take on this?

I actually would prefer to get 26 out sooner, than to backport, but I'm not
sure at the moment how big of a headache that would really be.  In general, it
would be nice to accelerate the schedule for major releases. But whether we
have the manpower to really do that is another question.
