Hah, the ol' "it's already broken, we can't possibly make it worse"
argument. :-)

It's ultimately up to re@ at this point, but personally I think adding a
last minute patch to loader primarily for a feature that we'd also have to
rush in as well is too risky. A lot has changed in -HEAD over the last few
weeks and in my opinion we should let the dust settle and get people using
the latest -HEAD before trying out even more new stuff.

We can always back-port it to -10 (and -9 if people want) later on in the
year.
