So, to summarize:

- 1.4 will support 10.5 only. We should upgrade trunk to support  
building Xcode 3.1-only, targeting only 10.5 and update the  
documentation, ASAP.
- 1.3 will continue to receive updates for things like MSNP15 after  
they are well tested (which maybe means only after they are shipping  
in 1.4).

Sounds about right?
