Olaf,
	Well I doubt the official piuparts would agree to that. (Though it is 
supposed to have such an option but it did not work for me.) However 
unless you are personally promising to own and fix all such bugs within 
a week of them being raised, then I suggest you need very good reasons 
against piuparts compliance.

	I do accept it is a change. We will need to do a proper release, like 
what we did not do for 5.5 and make sure people have no excuses. Also 
the current behaviour will still be an option.
