Well my suggestion was that the 1.4 branch would only get bug fix
support, not new features. However you are correct multiple patches
would be required which would increase the effort required to submit
patches. I would agree this is not what we want.
If we are in agreement to drop 1.4 support then this discussion is moot.
Does anyone have any strong objections to dropping 1.4 support ?
