OK.  I think in general terms for the next release I'd like to
prioritise anything we foresee that will alter any of our APIs.  We've
already made a number of changes recently that will break ports.  I'd
rather get all the port-breakage we think we need into this release, and
then any future releases would be less painful for the porters.

To this end, it would be a great help if all these issues were in the
savannah task/patch/bug system.  If anyone knows or can think of
anything that should be in there and is not, please add it.

I should come up with a way to mark the tasks/patches/bugs that we want
to fix for the release, and then magic some spare time to let me do
it!  

There is also little clamour from users to get the recent stuff into a
stable form for use, so we needn't hurry a release out.  We can afford
to take our time, fix more bugs, and get some more of the tasks done.

Leon has volunteered to help with the actual mechanics of the release as
he has some experience of it, which would be very helpful, but we're not
there yet.

There will of course need to be a couple of release candidates, together
with testing, to make sure we don't release something unusable by
others.
