I tend to agree that it does take a long time between releases, and
we are definitely trying to improve this.

Could you please indicate which bugs are missing?

The 13614 patch is actually in 1.6.3 under the original bug number
where the patch came from (bug 13596).

As for 13438, I cannot explain why this didn't make it into the 1.6.3
release, since it was definitely ready in time.
