I though that the plan for the 4.0.0 release was also to distribute official
binaries for Windows and Mac. Is this still part of the plan? I was under
the impression that this was going well for Windows at least.

Making two separate releases with a small time interval between them just to
keep this promise will be the same as breaking it. I feel that the promise
behind the two releases is about the time. Doing this is just breaking the
"spirit of the law".
I still think that merging the gui-release and default into a single release
may be a good idea. We can just bring back the removed functions from the
history and remove them on the following release instead.
