When I created this topic I was wondering if the extended shelf life of V4 would lead to further development of user created features, like trans mapped hair, mat files...

I did not know until i read it here that there was a project ongoing to develop weight mapping for V4.

It's sorta liking going to one of the current NFL playoff teams and saying, hey we are gonna give you another week to get ready. Would it make any difference to the games outcome?  (Ok, I imagine mentioning the NFL playoffs may drag this thread off topic, but since just about everybody else has already :p)
