The last status report for 4.4 was issued on 11-27-08.  According to
the IRC header, there are 128 regressions on trunk.  I suspect that
branching won't occur anytime soon.

Also, note there are Daniel's finalization patch, pault's memleak
option patch, my errmsg for [de]allocate patch, and ISTR a patch from
Janus for procedure pointers (but he may have already committed that).
