I know I initially agreed to do it for 4.0.7, but I don't think it's a good idea. Just look at our release process. We're calling our beta releases release candidates and breaking APIs between minor releases. Our versioning scheme is just broken (yeah I know it has been working for 4 years, but we've outgrown it now). My suggestion is release 4.0.7 without this module change, and simply change 4.0.8 to 4.1 with no extra huge wishlist to implement. - Stig
