No, I'd reccommend that as soon as zs4.5 is released everone shifts
to it.. then people have no excuse to stay with zs4.0 (not that i can
picture many people resisting the temptation to download zs4.5 )
I should say taht we've already got all teh details of libraries
sorted, and it's really not worth discussing hypotheical situations..
