Both the UCS and the shlib changes have exhited severe brokenness, for example. Let's get 21.0 out with the current settings for BS/DEL. Let's go back to finding and fixing the other brown paper bag bugs in 21.0 and 21.1. It will be a while before 21.2 is released. We have time to fix any remaining BS/DEL bugs. But I think it's very important to turn it on in 21.2 NOW. Martin
