Could somebody elaborate on this, please?

Indeed. However, 2.04 is still a few months off, and 2.03 update could
be made sooner. I think...

I will post them there as I have full set of them.

BTW, I think we really should start using branches in future - as soon
as we don't accept new features into 2.04 we should branch it off. DJ
once objected, according to him branches are PITA to merge, however
current situation is even bigger PITA. What do you think?
