No need to add extra hoops - we can keep using b tags into rc for now, and not start using rc tags until the release after we start understanding rc.  will that cover long upgrades - ie, if you go from 4.6.3 to 5.2 and the rc fix is in 5.1.1, will it work or will it require some kind of special reboot?

Approved.

Re Joel's last question, I'm afraid that this would indeed create problems with old installations.

We should go ahead and make the SQL function that determines this right away, so we get this new feature into the installed base as quickly as possible.

But we should not rely on it until we have determined, tested, and verified a solution that works for older installs as well.
