Ton, I'm interested in why you think 2.4.3 rather than 2.5.0 should be the latest stable release. 2.5.0 is identical to 2.4.3 except for the addition of jQuery, and so should be just as stable - indeed it was designed to be a stable release users could downgrade to if they experienced any problems.
