This kind of issues would be better handling by maintaining 2 branches 
at the same time (like, a Cuis 4.2 branch that only get bug fixes and a 
4.3 alpha branch with deeper/riskier changes, and those breaking 
compatibility). But Cuis is too small (in users, developers, and 
resources) to afford to do that. Apologies.

On the other hand, we are not doing deep or risky changes, and usually 
the very latest version is as reliable as any other. (A simpler system 
is less risky to change) So, the only reason I see to stay with the 
stable release, would be if you plan to do a development of significant 
size, and you need the system APIs to be really frozen.

BTW, if anybody is doing that, maybe you also have a few hours you could 
donate to the project from time to time, and we could join efforts to 
actually start publishing bug fixes for stable releases.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
