Could you post those ideas to the wiki? With an indication of why they
belong in 5, rather than 4.x? I believe the philosophy is that a 5.x
release would necessarily include significant incompatible changes -
compatible changes could go into a 4.x release *even if* there were
significant restructuring of the code base?
