There are very few constant things in the world that were not
considered temporary once in the past.

We are going to live with 1.4 quite long. I can feel it in my water.
The whole history of Scribus tells me I'm right. So I fail to see how
improving visual look of what we are going to recommend as stable
version is going to be baaaad, especially neither you nor anybody else
in the team is going to work on that design.
