    I still think this is a bad idea -- it cannot be done without potentially
    destabilizing the trunk which is currently in a very stable state, and
    thus in a pretty unique state of "readiness for release".

We could urge all the pretesters to try out the unicode branch now.
That way we would get a picture of how far it is from readiness.
