yep... that's the idea... :)

relevant issues for 1.4 are tagged now 2.0/1.4... some others just 1.4 (not many). What we considered non-relevant were re-tagged just 2.0... maybe we made a mistake in our review, but we are willing to retag them if someone has other feelings :)
now... the slices can be applied in both versions or be version specific... the bugtracker keeps the information needed to the integration.
times, times... we still didn't thought on times for versions release for 1.4 because we are still adjusting all to the process... but I think some time on july is good for first 1.4 release and maybe october for lastest... in any case, we are doing regular 1.4 integrations (weekly), that incorporates some bugfixes.
best,
Esteban
