Of course. Note that my references were not (and were not 
intended to be, veiled or otherwise :) knocks on your 
proposal or any _particular_ proposal.

My point was to say that one "big" change should be the 
limit for any given feature release. This can be a helpful 
guideline for the future: if as a developer you know 
that "total security rewrite" is already on the list 
for some feature release, then you can be pretty sure that 
you'll have a hard fight to get some other major change into 
the same release.
