That's my rationale for my suggestion too. Takehiros work in the branch
is as far as I can judge from the commit mails a major change. Whereas
just releasing 4.0 because it seems to follow 3.99 doesn't fit the
expectations of the users. Think about the change from linux 2.4 to 2.6,
or Windows 98SE to 2000 or FreeBSD 4.x to 5.x (do we have other FreeBSD
users on this list except me?). It's a major change in the Version
number and the users expect(ed) a major change in the way the Software
works/behaves.

Bye,
Alexander.
