Right. So I askied you to finish those changes. Your proposal is not good 
enough for the final release. If things are horrible I'm sure you'll get a 
RC2 next week, so you can polish the stff a bit more.

I don't question your and his good intentions. I don't even oppose the 
changes as such. I'm only saying that the UI is the "contract" with the 
editor/user, such as is the API with the developer.

The -1 is for changes AFTER the release of 4.2.0 final. Before that you can 
change it as often as you like (in RC2, RC3, etc).
