No, it's just that the fixes I've called out aren't yet in the
v3-4-test tree.

That always makes me nervous as I like to test a complete
shipping tree for a while before we ship. Yes I know they're
in *my* tree, but I'm not sure how many other people have
had them in their trees :-). Once they're in the v3-x-test
tree that everyone pulls from then I know others are testing
with them too.

Yes, I know it's an improvement on 3.4.0 (which actually
was a pretty good release w.r.t. number of bugs filed).
