The problem is that everyone who's done any work with 4.0 is either a
Microsoft employee (and smart enough to keep quiet) or a beta tester (which
implies signing a non-disclosure. People who sign non-disclosures SHOULD be
smart enough to keep quiet). Until the thing really ships, any discussion of
4.0 is premature.

I think it's safe to say this won't be a problem.
