Yeah, fair enough!  I did commit them to CVS, but it's easy enough to
back them out and commit to a branch instead.

Do we have a roadmap for what else people want on the 2.4 branch?
I'd be happy to put a bit more effort into polishing up those features
that are there so we can ship a 2.4 soonish.  Say by April next year,
which gives us 6 months to prepare.
