many cases such as this. I would rather see current CVS be cut as 4.0.0-rc1 than to see another beta. I think that the changes would get better pre-release exposure that way than to cut another beta.

I would rather see another "beta". The terminology for the file naming is not terribly important, but another beta only requires another single-digit change in any semi-automated scriptage.

In most cases, a formal release will be required before actual "pre-release exposure" will start taking place for most users.

Also, I'm very much interested in seeing a 3.9.3 release that coincides with the 4.0.0 release. I suggest that that would likely be the last 3.9 release. (Maintaining multiple branches is rather burdensome.)

We should not close the door on 3.9.X releases. These are likely to be required for a couple of years in order to keep existing OS distributions happy.

As far as your latest updates go, I will be happy to test with them as soon as they compile. ;-)
