Well I guess we already have :)

However, I'm confused because we've already had this discussion: 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/continuum-dev/201002.mbox/%[email protected]%3e

Wendy, Deng - please name the issues you are referring to. We can at least 
document some limitations if we can't resolve them.

At this point, I think perhaps we should rename 1.4.0 as 1.3.7 (GA), and move 
to trunk (removing the continuum-1.3.x branch). There are 23 fixes on trunk, 
some that have been there for a year, that aren't getting released because we 
can't seem to decide to end the 1.3 cycle. Would others be ok with that?

Thanks,
Brett
