Yes.  People will need to show a little tolerance both here and on
the -current mailing list for a while as people get used to it.  Again
I'm afraid this isn't going to be like flipping a switch at the date
5.3 gets released and everything changes instantly.  It will take a
little while for things to settle down.  But that's the nature of
change/progress/etc, right?  :-)
