Works for me.  I have been somewhat tied up with classes these last few 
months, but have a few ideas (mostly involving variable support) I've been 
kicking around for the next release.  Hopefully after midterms, I'll have 
more time to get them in shape.  Following the 4.8 schedule shouldn't 
interfere with those plans.
