+1. One of the main reasons I am not upgrading the production to 4.0
and don't plan to in the foreseeable future. I am also not planning to
build new stuff on 4.0 just yet. I already have rteHTMLarea on 3.8.1,
our own mass email product integrated instead of direct_mail, and I
don't care too much for workspaces - they work half-way anyway.

So, (the question for core developers) what's the big plan for 3.8.x
branch - is it going to be supported? Will anyone backport bugfixes
from 4.x branch to it? And if yes, then for how long?

P.S. Let's see how many answers like "why don't you do it yourself?" I
am going to get;))
