I'm still scared to death of the security implications, but if we don't
do it now, when will be a better time?  Might as well try it and see
what breaks.  Note there had better be a large compatibility warning in
the alpha release notes, and we had better pester driver authors to test
with 9.1alpha1 as soon as it's out.
