Steve,

I understand what your saying, but our concern stems from the fact that Hardy 
is a LTS, and we will be dealing with it, and any deficiencies in it for 
years.  

Unfortunately, this did not make it to the top of our list until very late in 
the release cycle.  This is a mistake we will try not to repeat in 8.10.  
Obviously you are the release manager, if you feel any of the changes 
proposed by the server team are too dangerous, we will respect your decision.
