        I see. Thanks for the information.

        *nod*. I can understand the move to 1.4.
        
        wrt your last question, I have to ask first - is there a proposed
        timeline for the 1.4 releases at all ? How soon will it be before we
        get our hands on a (beta?) version ?

        How much effort do you think it would it take to get 1.3.0/1 up to
        speed ?

        Cheers,

        Marcus
