Wait another month if you want to.

I only run official releases on my server, and 4.5, 4.4, 4.3, 4.2 and 
4.1 never seemed even slightly "broken" to me!

Things will be better with 4.6. Looking forward to it.
But if someone simply MUST have a new feature, -current works just fine 
on my desktop.

Thanks Theo and developers!
