Is it a good idea to do this in 4?

We should stop moving new features into 4 for 2 reasons, a) I've always
been against feature development of -stable, but b) we need to encourage
take-up of our latest branch and the less "modern" 4 is the more likely
people will be to migrate around 5.2. The SMP work won't be such a huge
draw since so few people have SMP machines.
