I think it makes sense to channel the efforts a little bit. Especially
in Swing there is lots of basic stuff not working, so it would be nice
to have this first. This whole stuff is a mess and has to be sorted out
somehow.

Yeah sure, if somebody writes it, why not take it. But the limited human
resource would be better spend with fixing the basic stuff that does not
yet work, hence my suggestion. But you are right, if something 1.5 is
done, it would be stupid to reject it (at least if it doesn't break
serious stuff).
