I think we need to put a stake in the ground for the 1.3 release... more issues have been added, and in this mode we will never get there.
Some items *should* hold up a release: - stability issues - review of new APIs that will become finalized on release We've had enough new features to warrant a new release for quite a while, so I don't think any new big features should be going in unless they are ready right now. So how about we make a 1.4 branch in about 2 weeks (the 25th), and release soon after. -Yonik
