Yeah, I'd love that. However, I've been having some delays of my own and I
will need to upgrade a bunch of related dependencies in order to move to
5.0 which is a project in itself. It's high on my list but the marketing
people are also breathing down my neck for end user features. You know how
it is.

I personally really like the Grouping and QueryTimeJoin functionalities and
am using them to great effect through the Lucene API. Also, I'm looking
forward to implementing some of the new suggest / autocomplete analyzers,
but that would prob not need any API changes. I think on the analyzer
front, things look really interesting with 4.x.

Other than that, just very interested in general to experience the numerous
performance improvements that have been made.

Cheers,
Marc
