I agree that the pretest should be a pre-test, not a candidate run for
features that won't appear in the final release.

I think the hope was that pretesting would reveal that people want character
folding, and so it really was a candidate for the next release. But I'm
getting a string impression that character folding isn't quite ready for
prime-time as a default feature.

So right now, I'm looking for arguments that it *should* be made the default;
otherwise, it seems wise to me to let it wait until things have been hammered
out a lot more.
