I don't think we should hold up 2.0 for this issue -- release it when
it's ready on technical grounds.
While I am reluctant to have to go back and interact with Red Hat
again -- mainly because of the delay it will cause. I guess we should
at least try this. I doubt it will come to much though.
If (when!) the Red Hat approach fails then I would vote for dropping
assignments and accepting the consequences.
