It impacts me much less, since I already have my installer in place to manage toolchains and other details.  In fact, I even had time to read the new source and prepare #2850 on the new codebase!  :)  I know you probably won't have time to merge it if you're rushing to get a 1.6.3 fix pushed out.  But please take a look before lots of other stuff changes and it won't automatically merge (like the prior 2 pull requests I've sent in the last month)."}}
