Unless there's really urgent security or blocker (EM not working, etc.) 
bugs, I'd rather not release 4.0.x too often because updating is a pain.

Ack. I'd rather have this sooner than later, with all major bugs fixed 
and the notorious 4.0 killer features stabilized.

I'm not sure I agree with this. What do we have head for if both 
bugfixing and the 4.5 stuff go into branches? With the new roadmap 
things will get very complicated if we really want a big-bang 4.5 
release with no intermediate steps. Why shouldn't we continue in HEAD, 
the CVS guidelines are strict, so we can expect that nothing will break.
