Sorry for not replying earlier, I was on vacations the last 2 weeks.

0.95 is already out now, and it's great to have something officially 
versioned out for people to use after all this time working from CVS-HEAD.

I guess you'll finish item #1 on your own. What about #2 (security 
related issues). Could you elaborate more,  can you split the work to 
pieces so others can help? I could spent some time on this if you 
provide some more details and be sure I don't do duplicate work.

Thanks for your kind comment. Please raise the issues related to my 
patches as soon as possible, so I can fix them ;-)
Do you also think I need to split the "Layer3Forwarding and minor 
enhancements" patch into smaller patches or is it ok as is ?

I don't remember what the "harmonizing" concept is. Juho could you explain?

+1 for subversion migration.
