If you recall the last meeting, the plan was to have had 1.3.4 out
already anyway but it never materialized...  I'd rather release it and
call it dead.  Look at it this way, you don't want to look at it now,
are you going to want to look at it any more once 1.4 IS out?  I
suspect the answer to be a resounding no. (Not just from you
specifically, the group in general.)
