Hi Petr,

Let me try to instill a bit more appreciation to a release schedule here.

We recieve a huge number of patches in any given moment. For a release we 
have to decide which ones go in and which will not even when some patches 
claim they fix huge problems. We need to verify the claim before they 
can go in. Given that releases cannot be "just in time" given the 
verification requirements we need to close off new patches once the 
process starts. Patches submitted after we start a release cycle 
verification are not eligible. Developers are well aware of this 
and are not suprised when we don't include a patch in a particular 
release.

From an external observer's viewpoint it's audacious that we didn't 
include a particular patch. But, frankly, if we tried to include every 
patch submitted "just in time" we would not be able to release anything. 
I hope you appreciate the competing factors here.

All this means is that the patches you are looking for will be included in 
5.1.1 which usually lags about 1-2 weeks. Of course, that also means we 
have to verify that those patches are relevant. So, it may take longer if 
we find problems with them. That should provide comfort as we are trying 
to fix real problems and exclude problematic solutions. In the case at 
hand, the solution was real but it arrived just too late.

Andy
