Do you mind going into more detail on the motive for waiting for 1.4?
I was under the impression that WINE didn't usually postpone big
changes until an rc series was ongoing or at least anticipated. Is
there discussion of starting the 1.4 RC phase soon, and that's the
motive for holding off? I am just curious to know why you're waiting.
