Is the "sometime in October" timing a problem?

I'm slightly nervous about that stuff, actually.

Implmented naively, it's going to slow-down inventories noticably on
trees that use it.   (And slowing down inventories impacts everything
else, just about.)

Implemented to be fast -- well, that's just plain hard.

So there's a cost/benefit question here and what I'm wondering (and
taking as a hypothesis) is that the untagged-source foo is ample here.

But good examples of why I'm wrong with that hypothesis are welcome,
of course.
