You can propose whatever you like, but the above is sadly deluded. From
experience, getting b-f's updated and ported to the existing architectures
takes between 8 and 12 months.

We won't be freezing until we have a satisfactory and functioning
installer.

You're welcome to try to prove that this isn't the case, but everyone
else has seen the way b-f's work a few times now, so don't expect anyone
to believe your claims until you /have/ proved them.

Cheers,
