Good.

If this means we can move quickly then lets leave things as they are. 

Then we can move straight on to the next version which will have no grddl. 

For my own project I do not intend to use any intermediates until ng4j and jena 
are in step. 
I do not use the semweb functionality and so do not use grddl. 

As far as I can see all we need to do is decide on what the next version is to be  
called and we are good to go.
