January is fine with me. I also think that we should take the our time 
to get the new patches right.

However, I think that you are underestimating the autodetect-patch. 
The patch from Michael is only a proof-of-concept. There are quite 
some pitfalls for supporting it on all programmers.

IMHO the need for autodection is not that big. So, we should take more 
time to ensure that it is done right-first-time. I would hate to see 
people complaining about problems, instead of loving our latest 
achievments ;-)
