(IMPORTANT) When should Mario be released?

Please regard this message, it's important for this month's Patreon avatar.
Okay, so I've done some beta testing and found out the shaders are mainly the only thing that broke. So there are one of two things I could do, I could release the avatar as soon as possible whenever I do complete it which is pretty soon, or I wait After the Unity 2018 update so that I only have to upload the avatar once to everyone.
Releasing the avatar now?
If I release the avatar relatively soon possibly a few days from now, you'll be able to have the avatar soon which is the main benefit. Problem is once the Unity 2018 update hits the avatar's shaders will break, animations still technically work. So this will need a reupload, and like I've said I'm willing to reupload the avatar to everyone's account, but there are other things I'll also need to reupload. So it may take quite a while for me to reupload the Mario. I also would have to re-upload all your old patreon avatars as well.
tl;dr: The avatar will work now, once Unity 2018 update hits VRChat, the avatar's shaders will break. This will need a reupload but I won't be able to re-upload the avatar for a while (a month after the update).
OR
Releasing the avatar after Unity 2018
If I release it after Unity 2018, the avatar will be fixed and won't require a reupload. This just makes it an easier option for me since I don't need to go through the trouble of reuploading to everyone. The only downside is we don't know when the Unity 2018 update will hit, the devs are saying "soon" though.
tl;dr: The easier option for me, and is better overall when the update does eventually hit.
-------------------------------------------------------------
So regarding the two different options, I'll be making a poll to see what people would prefer. Depending on the results I may keep the majority answer as the way I'll distribute it or look for better options.
Thank you for regarding this message, I look forward to cooperating with all of you to find the best way to distribute this.
