Hans, The tone of your e-mail is a little odd in my opinion. It seems to imply distrust and even possibly anger for a project that would be substantially better served by participating actively in the issue discussions that Tim Holy discussed. I don't think anyone who's following 0.4's progress would ever believe that 0.4 is not on track.
