Given that people are going to complain regardless, that gives you a lot
of freedom, no?

I'm more liberal; if we have a working-with-minor-bugs version of Sync
Rep by 2/15, I'm OK with it being in 9.1.  However, if major issues
remain outstanding ... or major disputes on features/API ... then boot it.

It's really up to  Simon/Heikki/Fujii as to whether that's a realistic
goal.  Certainly there's been a lot of work to *simplify* Synch Rep this
year.
