I'm starting to do the needed changes. Some module owners decided to fix the 
problem in different way compared to the proposed one - fine by me as they have 
done the changes themselves. The rest will have to use whatever I do :). 
Not many people say a word about these things and even less are ready to spend 
time discussing it so we can come with a suitable solution so putting the 1.0 
stamp looks a really hard task to me. Let's hope that I'll be proven wron.
