I'm establishment now :-). I only care about 3.2 and 4.0, because they
are the plan of record at the moment.
And on 3.3, Costin can fix his own bugs :-)

yep -- revolution rules still apply.
I do want to see one other tangible result. It would be useful if 3.2
could be returned to the main branch after you've moved the things you

anonymous CVS, especially after 3.2 is released.
