It's remarkable how the fact of a looming release date seems to 
crystallize all sorts of major issues that ought to have lengthy 
consideration and should never be handled in the run-up to it. But I 
still favour sticking to the release date -- Hugh has presumably cleared 
his schedule, as have others who will be helping him in case things go 
wrong, and it's difficult to rearrange all that.

This seems like a good idea. The crossed-out attribute could also be a 
link to an explanatory page which shows how you can add it back if you 
want to.

Cheers,
