If 1.4 and trunk grow apart, that would become a problem, yes. SVN should help a lot with the practical side. But if trunk and 1.4 are _too_ far apart, then the testing of the thing in the trunk will be lacking in evidentiary value for the patch's correctness in 1.4. > Another possibility, since no big problem should appear, would be to > apply it directly to the 1.4 branch at some time and solve the last > problems.

But I think it should be in the local trees of people that do work with LyX, and they should report that no crashes, document corruptions or data losses take place for them that can be linked to the patch. I feel good about this patch; It is of sound architecture. But I am only human and have been known to goof. - Martin
