Hey Lukas, Johannes, all...

We are not yet ready to schedule alpha3, but I am hoping we can do it in the first half of October. This is just a heads up to tell everybody that yes there will be an alpha3 and a general timeframe.

This is not an invitation to go crazy and start committing features at all. If you have something that you think is very low risk, unquestionably useful, with ready tests and patches, then feel free to approach me and Johannes. Otherwise just help us to get 5.3.0 out the door, so that you can add whatever niceties into 5.3.1 :)

Does that mean we can drop namespace support until 6.0?

Please?

Rationale:

1) It's uber-contentious, and all the good stuff's only just starting to turn up that would allow sane design decisions
2) If it's released as-is, there would be no going back due to BC concerns

Simple as. I'm just worried about it all, and 5.3 should've been out months ago because it's otherwise brilliant.
