The trouble as I see it is that the real problems in the 1.4.x tree stem from the kernel being in a state of transition from old design to new. My reading of discussions from those who know is that fixing some (major) bugs _requires_ this transition to be pushed on. A serious alternative might be to push the head of the cvs tree to 1.5 and to backport stable features to a 1.4 tree based on 1.3.x. John has already suggested something similar. -- Angus
