We will try, on a best efforts basis, to address issues and push changes to the "bleeding edge" master branch within the 5.0 folder **without altering current numbering** and using tagging ([see below](CONTRIBUTING.md#use-tags-to-describe-the-change)) to make changes clearer. This is in order to make it easier to use this branch on an ongoing basis. However, we will no longer be accepting changes to the 4.0 folder which is now fixed at the 4.0.3 release. +Please also focus attention on the requirements themselves and **not** on the surrounding text or on the introductory chapters (files 0x01-0x04).
