Technically, it's fairly easy. And given that it's been working for a
couple of betas of 8.3, it seems it should be safe. OTOH, the official
build for 8.3 doesn't use it, so binary testers haven't seen it. But any
issues should've been build issues rather than runtime ones, I think.
So yeah, it would be reasonably easy to do, and probably a good idea.
Anybody think we shouldn't?
