Nonetheless we have seen and will continue to see those who, despite being advised to wait before using 1.3.4+ do it anyway. It seems the best we can do is to try to keep them from doing a lot of work in unstable versions only to reach a frustrating dead-end and not be able to load the file into the stable version. Unfortunately there are many tantalizing elements in the unstable versions, which is part of the fatal attraction, I guess.
