That won't get fixed in 1.5.0, and I am about to say the rest of the above list won't either that is
not already in 1.5.0svn.

I will be approaching the team to declare a feature freeze on 1.5.0 soon - or it will take *forever*
to stabilise like 1.4.0 has. 1.6.0 will be 5+ years away if 1.5.0 isn't locked down soon.
