You're true ... but it seem we are talking about a project on the road
... not ready yet... that's why i'm surprised to see that person
calling for a backport.

I know that gb3 will no be quite stable before 6 month to 1 year...
many change make many bugs too :), but often it's not bugs on the
langage (interpreter) but on libs... that's why it's important that
Benoit open a bug traking page to accelerate the bug hunting process.
