So are there any binaries for 1.4 available anywhere, for those of us  
that don't want for one reason or another to use MacPorts / compile  
from source?

I wonder what happens with the bundle repository. I am actually still  
on 1.2.3 and can access it just fine, which means, if I understood  
the note correctly,  that it is not 1.4. On the other hand this also  
means that any of the 100> committers would have to also use older  
clients, otherwise one of them would have changed the repository. Or  
am I misunderstanding something?
