Zoran,
  Thank you for your complete answer.  It does raise a few questions,
but they are simple...

1) Are you or the other developers committed to fixing bugs that do
not affect your business?  Again, this is not hostile - but I want to
know, since the dev. team is small, if I run into bugs, will I be told
"we work on the parts we need, feel free to fix it and submit a patch"
or can I expect more of a "this is an opensource project we run, so we
will devote time to helpind you with this bug you found."

2) Was anything from AS 4.5 merged into NS, if not - is there a plan for this?

  Finally, I would like to ask that you post either the above verbatum
or a modified version of your response somewhere on the NS wiki.
Perhaps short bios of you, Vlad, and Stephen and when you care about
developing NS would be quite helpful.  Right now the only information
available is the "Key Facts" page, and it's quite hard to guage where
this project comes from or why simply by reading that page.
