Could you try again after r18841? This could very well be due to the business 
data types missing yesterday, but I've added them today.

Sure. However, I think the actual problem looks as follows: In order to finish 
a 2.4.0 release in finite time, we would finally have to look through those 
features which are again and again buggy, then disable those, and call the 
rest (which is relatively non-buggy) the next stable series. I think 
everything else is prone to cause delay after delay again, without much fun 
for the developers. However, decisions about which features better be disabled 
for a stable series are never easy to do. The infamous CSV importer comes to 
mind... Nevertheless, I will agree with and support everyone who concentrates 
on finishing a 2.4.0 release in near future. Thanks for reminding.
