I have some qualms about taking lots of changes in to plugins after
bzr 2.1.0rc1.  Bazaar itself is supposed to have bugfixes only from
that point on, and I think shipped plugins should take the same
approach.  Specifically I don't want us to ship any plugin changes
post rc1 unless we're sure they're safe fixes.

The point of the release process is to release a good version of the
features we have at the rc point, not to do further development.
Later stuff can go into 2.2b1.

Basically every release where we've let people scrape features in
under or after the deadline it has caused regressions.  I don't want
to go there again.
