I think we have now all the information we could have without really 
having it in the wild. Yes, we can make a mistake based on this 
information, but I see no use in sitting there and doing nothing but 
asking ourselves "do we make a mistake?". We are not advancing with it 
that way. If you can name something that could further our progress here 
and that can be done after 5.3 but can't be done right now - name it. 
Otherwise I see absolutely no reason in postponing the decision.
