The new VM subsystem will be available as a series of "new VM sneak preview" patches. I'll make sure to give you one which is stable and works well enough that we can integrate it into 2.4 later on (eg at 2.4.10).
Since VM is basically a performance issue, I don't think we should let it hold up 2.4 release. Sure there are some minor stability issues in extreme cases, but no more than with 2.2 VM.
