I don't know.  Releases are also energetic times, when people become
more active -- and it's not always activity that can be redirected to
fixing bugs, unfortunately :/ So  if we're too strict, we might lose
some of that without it going in other productive directions.

The local-eval thing was not satisfying for many reasons, and it did
delay the release.  Still, it's good to have it in and settled.

I guess in summary: I don't know :)
