What you say makes perfect sense.

FWIW, I have been using NATIVE_FULL_AOT with self-built emacs-28 as my
daily drive for around four months.  An instance of this is nearly
always running ERC.  I've been quite happy.

Let's go without NATIVE_FULL_AOT, for at least pre-release 1.

I will push what I have to the FTP site after work today.,
notwithstanding reports of (further) critical defects.
