Please correct me if I am wrong, Mike, but it seems to me that much 
of the effort in later versions is in templating and UI.  There is 
an overwhelming, huge similarity between 4.03 and 4.7.3 in the 
core session modules.

It would be wonderful if the core modules and the templating/UI could
each march along at their own, separate paces.
