A good point. And I agree that the `Right' solution is the tags feature of
1.5. But I still don't think backporting some of the tags functionality into
the 1.4 branch is a good idea. 1.4 is feature complete, and branch-1-4 is
merely a maintenance branch to fix bugs while we concentrate of the
development of 1.5.
