if you get a scribus with the icons done 'right', would it be better?

in my eyes, the scribus users will get a better scribus if they get a 
1.4 which works ok and actually does not lose any content. never.
and then, at the beginning / middle 2012, get a scribus 1.6 with a first 
support of complex script languages, full support for undo, a sane file 
format (would be nice), a new properties palette, scripter 2, a cleaner 
UI (one status bar, shorter toolbar, consistent icons), a new table 
editor, symbols...
and then a 1.8 or 2.0 in 2013 which will rule the world...

i want everything... but not all at once!

ciao
