Actually, there are developers who run pretty much nothing but release
code (or release-branch code).  I'm one.  However, for various reasons
(despite my work to help get fixes on to the release branch), I'm
_not_ going to be the person to drive getting 1.4.1 out the door.


In fact, there are some vocal developers who've said things which
indicate the exact sentiment that you guess at, so I think there's a
problem in that regard... but it's not the problem holding 1.4.1
back.  8-)
