Rather than going through and saying "oh, change X touches on area Y,
where we're waiting to see how change Z plays out, so we shouldn't do X
yet" it is simpler to declare the core of the language off limits for a
release or two.
We made a lot of big changes to fairly core parts of the language in a
relatively short period. Giving those a chance to settle down before we
start fiddling further is unlikely to be detrimental in the long run.
Cheers,
Nick.
