When else would you have us develop?

Major changes happen at start of a dev cycle, after some discussion.
Not in the middle and especially not for low priority items. It's not
even a bug, just code beautification.

We've all accepted the need for some change, but I would like to see
it happen slowly and carefully because of the very high risk of
introducing bugs into stable code that doesn't have a formal
verification mechanism currently. Anybody that could be trusted to
make those changes ought to have something better to do. If they don't
then that is in itself a much more serious issue than this.
