I think it would be healthy to block the release until such stack problems are
corrected. We should be able to notice such stack inconsistencies if patches
are tested according to the proposed process we have in place (including
running the ansi-tests). Continuing to push in stack-consistency-breaking
changes and falling back to interpreter when release pressure arises doesn't
sound all that sane to me.
