Paul,

CUPS 1.6.0 should be out this summer (July/August).

If it's not there, I can reasonably assume that it's complete (at least for my purposes anyway).  Not holding you to it, but do you have any vague idea of when 1.6 will be available?  I'm trying to keep everyone floating along in 1.4.7(.x) and skip 1.5 all together.
