The problem in past was, that those non-HEAD packages
killed the SCM checkout testing and was one among couple
other reasons why this project stalled. There is plenty of
people who *do* not want to see any more sand in the wheels.

If those packages are updated after *every* commit, then it
serves its purpose and personally could join to hack that kind
of system if can find time for it.

As far as I know, plugin porting was not the issue that was
holding 0.4 release but some structural parts that were not
developed yet. From 0.2x and 0.3x we know, that it doesn't help
much if it works all that 98% and then fails.

I don't want to dicourage you, but I'd like to hear some news from those
who have been hacking the core components, is it somewhat finished
or not? Core is that matters for 0.4 release, not the plugins.

Remember, central EU area just finished their vacation season and 
people are up to their noses with regular jobs, freetime work comes
once you clean up that pile from your work table... so give them 
time to come back.
