I think ultimately, as Walter has said, nothing is going to change
unless somebody steps up to the plate and champions the effort to make a
stable branch. Writing up proposals, specs, and other docs are good in
theory, but won't accomplish a thing if nobody actually *does* anything
about it. I think 1100110 has stepped up to make a stable branch; let's
work with him to make it actually happen.
