a quick release is only that quick that it will take 6-8 weeks anyway.. (it will not be in 2-3 weeks..) In that time frame we can do 1 and in the end 2 release of 1.3 anyway So eventually we will have1.3.5 and 1.4. Then we can stop supporting 1.3.5 for most kind of bugs except the exceptional onces of course.
