As far as I am aware, the only required patches are
for Fedora and they are applied downstream already.
(Smart works with older Fedora 9 and with the "LTS"
i.e. CentOS, but not with the newer Fedora releases)

I think there were some minor bugs fixed in Ubuntu/Debian,
i.e. the ones that have been added to "trunk" since 1.2 ?
The other two I added were "newer" and "lzma"/xz, since
they are applied downstream in a non-compatible fashion.


All the others can be punted to next release instead.
But sure, it could still be called "1.3" if desired...
Just figured one _could_ release the minor fixes (only),
and then start "trunk" clean with the added features ?

We didn't do 1.0.1, so I figured we didn't want 1.2.1...
(i.e. old fixes went in a 1.1, so they could go in a 1.3)
So my feeling was that it would be easiest to add a "1.4"
and move from https://launchpad.net/smart/+milestone/1.3


Something like:

Smart 1.3: ETA 2009-09-30 (moved from 2009-07-31)
Smart 1.4: ETA 2009-11-30 (or perhaps 2009-12-31)
