"Heidelberg needs to launch late September, and we'll be accomodating the 5.0 release to their needs, so you can expect some form of release around that date."
Just to make this clear: We'll be accomodating the release *schedule* to coincide with Heidelberg's launch. This gives us a valuable opportunity to use Heidelberg for near-production beta testing purposes, as well as helping make the release come out sooner.
Also, the things that currently sit on the 4.6.4 branch are almost exclusively thihngs that I've committed since the 4.6.3 release, when everybody went off to Holiday or off to work on HEAD.
The decision we've made is that, since a 5.0 release is so near, we'll not put the work into a 4.6.4 release (a release cycle takes effort), but instead put it into making the 5.0.0 release of higher quality.
