Judging from the fact that we recently had to deal with the fallouts of
C rewrites that happened during the 1.5.4 timeframe, I would have to say
that any C rewrite of a substantial and important program needs to be
cooked at least for one (or preferably two cycles, especially we are
trying to have shorter cycles) in 'next'.
That would mean that you'd have to merge it into 'next'. And rather
sooner than later, since everything else would lead to a dragging out of
the timeline.
Yes, which means somebody needs to present a mergeable history rather
sooner than later, and that somebody does not have to be me ;-)
