  Sure, branching is good, but wait as long as possible to branch too.  That 
will make it easiest on you.

  Some release - version number TBD - is planned for real_soon_now.  What's in 
trunk is very stable minus a couple of deadlocks, and quite an improvement 
over 1.2.  Also people are really asking for NAD and we can't give them a 
working datasource until we have an updated kstdatasource.cpp so we need to 
get this out soon.

  No major datasource changes will go into the next release beyond now.
