Hi!

Thanks for the list, it's a good start of the discussion. I have only one note for now - since the goal of all this to try and get 5.4 out before the end of the year, I think that requires some scope limiting.

By this I mean that if something is proposed to which the implementation or design isn't obvious, there should be commitment for it to be done in next 2 months. By "done" I mean both having design with reasonable consensus and full implementation.

So if somebody proposes something entirely new that the implementation is not obvious or already existing, he should either make commitment to do this in the next 2 months personally or find somebody who will. Of course, 2 months here doesn't mean exactly 61 days, but it's the timeframe. I.e., if it's an idea "let's somebody do it" - it might be a perfectly good idea, but not for this 5.4. That doesn't mean it's rejected - it just would be out of scope for this release.
