In all fairness, these updates to 0.3.7 were announced together with 0.3.DL; there is no need to postpone them when they contain very useful additions and changes (like the increase of the size of the object pool).

It is difficult to draw accurate conclusions from 0.3.DL when, fearing the split of their communities, many server owners prefer to stick to 0.3.7, even though they could find a use for the features of 0.3.DL. I would gladly switch to 0.3.DL if I didn't fear of losing 90 % of players, and I would certainly lose them.

You can add a compatibility option to 0.3.7 R3 to be able to connect to 0.3.DL servers, but without any model downloading included (then you can merge the server lists again). There are some servers that would really welcome this possibility.
