Hey, stop, no poll before we have someone doing it!

I'm perfectly fine committing smaller bugfixes to HEAD *and* 4.0 from
now on, but I think the work required for porting those huuuuuge list of
bugfixes from 4.0 back to 3.8 is far higher than it's worth.

I think as soon as we have fixed 4.0's few major showstoppers in 4.0.1,
people can safely upgrade to the backwards compatible 4.0 so no reason
for a 3.8.2.

Let's start the "better patch level releases" thing from now on, but
*please* don't poll the lists before we have an *external, new* person
who wants to maintain it.

cheers,
