I agree. There are a lot of bugs we fixed since 4.8, some really big, 
not to mention a lot of quality of life improvements. A 4.9.1 release 
will be required anyway, because harm and I cant catch everything 
(though I think we did pretty good). Dev releases are easy, but it takes 
most of a month to get the translations depending on whose active. If we 
can excite people with the release maybe we can get some more 
translators. :)
