Yes, but not one that gets merged in during stage 1 :)

Planning for 4.3.0 has no effect at all on the 4.2.x schedule.  People 
work on 4.2.x or not depending on their own priorities.  I've fixed a 
few bugs in 4.2 since the 4.2.2 release, and I fully expect there will 
be at least a 4.2.3 before 4.3.0 goes out.

Distributors are interested in a timely 4.3.0 because they'll be using 
whatever compiler they settle on for a long time and would like it to be 
up to date.  Sometimes some of the new features are important to support 
the needs of other parts of the system.
