As Adam just stated the next release will only be minor changes. I'm assuming fixes to the whole ultrapeer topology (better connectivity and so forth). I'm also guessing since there such a minor change, there is really no point in releasing it any time soon. I'm pretty sure they want to test and test until they get the perfect values to make this ultrapeer topology stable. So in other words, they probably wont have the things you were talking about in the next release.
