I'm suggesting that adding the ability to handle unicode paths is a *new* 
*feature*.

If people actually want to see 2.5 final ever released, they're going to have 
to accept that "oh, but just this _one_ _more_ _thing_" is not going to fly.

We're _well_ past beta1, where new features should have been added. At this 
point, we have to cut another release candidate. This is far too much to add 
during the release candidate stage.

Possibly. I remain unconvinced.
