I am no fan of big branches, neither with CVS nor with SVN. SVN makes branching a bit simpler, though. In any case, I support Lars' idea of one big feature per release, i.e. Unicode for 1.5 with a ETA of 1.4.0 + one year at most, and XML in 1.6. This means that we can't take full advantage of some 1.4 features before 1.7, but in any case that's better than a three-year-cycle. Andre'
