[TYPO3-project-4-3] [TYPO3-core] TYPO3 4.3 Feature Freeze

[Ralf Hettinger]

Hi Olly,

just a big thank you for going through the bugtracker entries today and
leaving "reminders" here and there by setting the target version.

Definitely a big help for people (like me) that still feel more
comfortable following the bugtracker than the mailing lists :)

Cheers
Ralf
