The universal branch is not ready, but I consider the 2 patches ready
for inclusion (in fact, I have focused on fixing of FS#3492 and FS#5798
with the least API changes). However, I had not much time to test it and
the inclusion of a _complete_ universal branch to ~4.0 would be nicer,
so I am fine with Dan's roadmap. (However, I have no clue what to do
with universal transaction at pacman front-end side...)

I will send my "API changes" patch soon, based on my working branch,
feel free to modify it, if needed.
