Yeah. I’d like to hear about regarding Chrome’s dependencies as well; we don’t want to break them.

The time frame can stretch to accommodate people's schedules, but at least I think most of us agree it's a good move forward.

Oh, I fully agree that this is a good move forward, and I fully expect we’ll be able to make it for 3.5.
