Hey Francis,

What is preventing an upgrade to 1.4? Are there specific concerns
remaining? It's been out there for a long time now, and bug fixed through
12 releases. Feel free to contact me offlist if you prefer, no problem.

Committers are voting to EOM 1.3 with their git clients already. It is
spotty if changes make it that far back even when they should. See extra
work the RM had to do for the last 1.3 release to compare history and port
back stuff. Nothing prevents you or someone else from continuing to make
1.3 releases but the writing is on the wall here.
