yeah yeah. And back in the 1.1 days everyone said...wait for 1.2. thats
part of 
the problem.

Is 1.4 going to be so different from 1.3.3 that we should bypass what is
currently
stable? Its only a minor release (unless you use a different numbering
system then
the rest of the world), so why are you implying that it would be a waste of
time to
port to 1.3.3? 

Also, if 1.4 is due out in 2 months, why are you doing a 1.3.3? It make
little sense.
