I think it would be better to have more time between merging the 16bit
branch back into trunk and a release. The larger number of developers
(on a larger number of platforms) looking at the code when it hits trunk
might well trigger some more minor API changes/discussion, and it would
be bad to do that in the middle of the release process.
