Hi benni,

full ack from my side. Time is running and there are a lot of half-finished 
things that has to be finished first. It's better to concentrate on that to 
have a good stable release instead of having many new features but half 
finished.
I'm also astonished that you have so much duties (especially for BE) and 
there are only some weeks left, but i really admire you're work and energy.
