I don't know how each individual has been thinking about this, but it seems
to me just looking at all the tasks that at least the introduction of tries
is a major format change anyway - since it's the whole point - and
therefore people working on other tasks may have assumed the format is
changing anyway and therefore something like a switch (is this what is
referred to as the C-8110 solution?) will take care of it for everyone.

I'm not sure there's consensus that such a switch is a sufficient
resolution to this discussion, but if there were such a consensus, the next
question would be whether the patches that are otherwise ready now can
merge, or whether they will all be blocked waiting for the compatibility
solution first. And possibly better testing, etc. Letting them merge would
be justified by the desire to have more frequent and smaller increments of
work merged into trunk... well, I'm not going to repeat everything from
that discussion but the same pro's and con's apply.
