Manuel,
I know that you have been working hard on the updates, but options 2
and 3 seem to be even more work. On top of that, I suspect we will want
to go to the next stable release when it is available, so a lot of the
work done for options 2 and 3 would only be useful for a few months.
Do you have any insight into why there will be no 1.72.1 release?
My initial reaction is that option 1 is best for the overall project.
