Indeed. The same goes for stuff like deprecating things that we've long said 
was going to be deprecated but hasn't yet been deprecated (e.g. delete). Lots 
of code is going to break when it happens, and the longer that we wait, the 
worse it's going to be. But until someone takes the time to fix it (and Walter 
is constantly busy on other things), it's not going to happen, which is 
obviously a big problem.
