+1.

If we do a 5.1 (and I think we should), file format changes would be a better metric for ancillary additions.

This is of course self-serving: I have a bunch of great dialog changes that could go in. ;)

Should we plan for a 5.1 release as Simon suggests with a goal of working GTK3?​  I'm not sure that I agree with his preference for banning non-GTK3 patches but I do have a preference for avoiding file format changes during 5.x releases.
