It is my belief that we need to release 1.5 before Monday.
If something does not make it in to 1.5 before then - then it will go in to
1.5.1

Here is why:
1. It is quite stable - not much of bug repports or complaints coming out
of ML
2. It is complete enough - some stuff is still missing, but hey! we are not
stopping development with
    release of 1.5 - we'll add it later
3. Users are getting very confused
4. We already have some code for 1.5.1 tha needs to be tested, but instead
just laying quietly on the shelf
 waiting for 1.5 to come out.
    Which is-
       Ethan's fix for Wharf swallowing
       My extensions to Pager to enable configuration of DeskBorder,
Selection etc.
       nekked's patch for WinList

5. Development is a continuos process, and there are always stuff that
needs to be done :) - therefor it
    will be forewer, if we'll be waiting for everything.

So Let's get it moving !

Now prior to release I think it will be good to test 1.5 in closed circle
for a day or two.

Sasha.
