It depends on how picky the feature freeze is. Like, I'm fairly sure we
could be major feature frozen by then. For example, having cd and
internet radio in.

But I think we'd need some flexibility like still being able to move
stuff around, change behaviour of things, add and remove little features
here and there (for example album cover support, renaming files, etc).

OK, that may be possible.

Yep. I guess it would be possible to have RB in (Ofcourse it'd be really
cool, but I can't be sure.. as long as we can back out easily if we need
to it should be OK I guess), but what I'm really worried about is the
wrapper lib issue.
