I don't know. I guess the main issue is if it will be adequately
supported by our testers.

It isn't in trunk yet, so I'm not sure if you'll have enough time for
1.51. The deadline is very tight. You'll really have to get in and the
tests running straight away, and you still might not have enough time
unless it goes very smoothly (the testers aren't that frequent, I'm
afraid).
