So, something that was on the list of interesting ideas for 5.0 did not
get done. So what? There is a long list of ideas that did not make it to
5.0, simply because nobody bothered to do the work on time, it slipped
between the cracks, or whatever other reason there might be. There have
been plenty of warnings of when the development window for 5.0 would
close, and it even has been re-opened a for a few features that were
already in progress. But now really is the time to stabilize 5.0, not to
introduce new stuff. The window is closed.
