It is a statement that it is impossible for me or anyone else to predict when new releases of OpenAFS will be available. Version 1.4 still has yet to be released. I bet that 1.4 would be released much sooner if we dropped support for operating systems with unstable kernel ABIs.
Even assuming that I had working code ready to go (and I don't) at the current rate of the release cycle it would take months/years to get the code tested. We still don't have a Tiger release and that work is 95% or more done. The reality is that there is an overwhelming lack of resources for testing and development and those that are available are not predictable. Therefore, I make no predictions.
