I don't think it should be released "soon": a) it will have to be supported for some time on. b) while it's not released new APIs can be added/changed freely. After the release there is a lock on new API. Releasing an incomplete 1.3 would mean a 1.4 should be released to supply any needed API, and so on. This will lead to more versions that need to be supported. Etc. -- Lucian.
