    I'm sure there's no harm in my Mule changes generally, but that's not
    what everyone has been told, unfortunately.  

We would not have installed your changes in the trunk if they were
harmful.  The issue about RC is not harm, it is risk of bugs.  Any
change has a risk of bugs, even if it is a great improvement.  But the
risk is not proportional to the improvement; they depend on different
factors.  In RC we try to keep this risk down.
