My ;-) was kind of a teaser. I regard 6.4.svn as more stable than
6.4.2. You said that there is no stable 6.4.3 that a user could see.
[This is directed at all other devs:] Then we should make sure that
there is a stable 6.4.3 that a user could see. At the the very least,
please release 6.4.3rc1 before yesterday (commonly used deadline
definition).
