Richard, Joseph, Jakub, and I have been discussing this and will come to
a conclusion as to what to do. There are aspects of this that we can
control, and aspects that we cannot. All I can tell you at this point
is that we all want to get 4.4 out the door, and that we're working to
make that happen. Given the way that the FSF works (i.e., slowly and
deliberately), getting excited will likely be counterproductive.
