Is it just me or does this sound ridiculous ? Patches for unreleased software, why not just fix it before it is released ? Or if that is infeasible, include this patch with the release, but sending it out prior to the release of X11R4 seems a little strange to me. But, maybe this means that R4 is all bundled up and ready to go, in which case, where does the line start?
