The only real issue I've heard it cause so far is that people can only
delete one track at a time from media devices.  This isn't great, but
it's not a show stopper.  We can't keep deeming small issues
showstoppers.  We've already delayed the release a lot for a lastfm
bump that was completely unnecessary.  This is going to involve a lot
of code changing.  It makes sense to put this off until we have time
to let it get tested sufficiently.
