Just checked possibility of merging vt(4) to stable/9 - think it is
possible, but have to test, since there is a lot of difference in
teken. First look on difference show me merging have not to be a big
problem.
stable/10 - no problem.
As I already said to Niclas, I will try to done merge to both to middle
of March.
