I guess I'm not yet convinced that these changes couldn't have been
introduced earlier. is there a specific reason why you could not have
made these exact changes a month ago?

For me at least, the 'feature-development phase' is not a total loss.
I've been running Rawhide exclusively on this system (my main work
system, I use it for almost everything) since March, all the way through
the F12 cycle. I was able to do so without much trouble. If these
changes had been introduced earlier, I at least would have noticed and
probably flagged them up for release notes, and I know there are others
who run Rawhide as I do.
