While the second part is certainly true, the first may be overly 
pessimistic. ;) There's no need to release a new client or Windows server 
to fix bugs in the Linux codebase, or vice versa, as long as the version 
check is sufficiently coarse and the change doesn't affect the wire 
protocol or the peer's logic.

That said, I agree that Dice should push forward to 1.4 and fix any 
outstanding bugs in that branch instead of trying to retrofit fixes into 
the 1.31 branch. It sounds like 1.31 won't be in play that much longer and 
that 1.4 is imminent.
