There was some talk recently of releasing 0.4.0. No time table.

We can't think of a good way to do this. Maybe you have an idea.
Here's an example:

Export from a 5W handheld set to high power. Import to a 50W mobile.
Do you set the imported channel on the mobile to low power, because
that is the closest option to 5W?

We haven't been able to solve this ambiguity, so we just don't
import/export power.
