I thought the feature deadline was yesterday; are we on late features
now?
I did miss that deadline..
This is a good change but I'd very much like it to be in and reliable

qxl
KVMs so it wouldn't be ideal for this to be bouncing around during
Alpha/Beta time. Is that likely to be the case? Thanks!
