	Oh, all right. :-)

	Okay. :-)

	Well, okay, but I can't know in advance if a patch is going to make it
unstable. I think the purpose of a stable branch is to *not* add
features, and to *not* refactor, and just add bug fixes. So I wouldn't
want to accept any new feature or anything that even looks large on the
1.x branch.

	Okay. :-)
