Now that 4.0 is pretty much done I'm moving on to new work and specifically this proposal "Externalize User And Permissions Management" (http://tinyurl.com/28br55), which has been reviewed on the list (http://tinyurl.com/ytovd4) and appears to have consensus.
I'm going to work in a branch for now since 4.0 is still in the RC phase. - Dave
