One further thing that occurs to me is that we don't necessarily have  
to delay rxosd integration until 1.6 has shipped. Pretty much as soon  
as we decide that we're pushing for 1.6, I'd imagine we'd fork the  
current 'development' branch to provide a 1.6 branch, and a  
development branch. After that point, we'd be free to take anything  
rxosd related on the development branch, without it impacting on our  
plans to get 1.6 out of the door. It would just mean the gatekeepers  
having to maintain three branches (1.4, the-soon-to-be 1.6, and  
development), and I'm sure they can do that!
