I think that's great, it's a good thing we're releasing.
We talked at some point to have some plugins in extragear, maybe now it
would be a good moment to think about it. Maybe the git plugin would get
more attention there attention, I don't know how bad it is anyway...

On bugfixing I guess it's hard to get people excited, but we're actually
being quite stable right now, it's good we're getting freezed soon, that
will let us concentrate. String freeze will be more of an issue though, if
we need it for bug fixing, but we will get there.

About 4.1, it would be nice if we could gather at some point for a dev
meeting, maybe it's too early to think about that, but I guess it's the way
to get things done in a uniform way.
