Careful - if there are major refactorings in core during the 4.0 dev 
cycle (as seems quite likely), the usual policy is to update any trunk 
modules in at least the daily alpha NBM config which would no longer be 
buildable without changes. This happened during the 3.5 dev cycle a few 
times.

If you want a 3.5-compatible codeline, I would recommend you have a 
branch for this purpose. Whether you use the release35 branch or a 
separate one rooted from its tip is your decision - tasklist/* are not 
in the standard distribution so the feature freeze is optional for you, 
I think.
