Point releases (1.3.3) to a full release (1.3) are for bug fixes only
(and maybe new driver additions).  The next full release will in fact
be 1.4, and is supposed to happen sometime next year.

That's -current, and is neither 1.3.3 nor 1.3.2++, but more like
pre-1.4

I heard somewhere that SMP would be cause for 2.0.
