No new features should be added to 1.3, period, but I am not vetoing that. What I did veto is a major MMN bump for the sake of a new feature. We have been explicitly forbidding bug fixes that would cause such a bump, so why on earth do you think we should allow a new, non-critical feature to be added to the feature-frozen development branch that would require every single 1.3.x module on the planet to be recompiled? It has been something like two years since the last time we allowed that.
A minor MMN bump should be sufficient. If not, the feature doesn't belong in the 1.3 tree. ....Roy
