Hmm,

I think it would be good to atleast make the jump in development, assuming the 
APi changes are minor and either don't impact using software at all or can 
easily be fixed. Then once we've done this in development (which we need todo 
some time before F-10 launch to allow for testing, iow now) we can evalutate 
this and maybe do the same for F-9 and F-8.
