I'm not one of the people doing the work, so my vote doesn't count. But I
think that this is an excellent proposal. The m17n release is a big change,
and it would be great to have this done with a clean, limited release.

With a bit of care, it should also be possible to ensure that the unstable
stream contains all of the changes in the stable 3.8 stream, so hopefully
the work on the unstable stream can continue without interruption.

Thanks, and I hope that this proposal is accepted.
