At this point I would say that we have a lot of small tasks, and a lot 
of really big tasks, but few mid-sized tasks.  So I agree that we ought 
not wait for laths, ODE, or similar for a stable build.  That said, 
let's not get in too big a hurry - this last round of changes has been 
the most dramatic we've seen in awhile - we need to slow down, let the 
dust settle, it's inevitable that there will be bugs, get back in the 
habit of steady incremental releases.  I think we're approaching a point 
where getting into distros is worth tackling, so some of our install 
issues would be good to handle, e.g. shader caching and the startup 
script I mentioned this morning.  I just realized the other day that I 
unwittingly removed an important data-entry capability from spin 
buttons, and I need to validate that we really have 
backwards-compatibility with older documents.  Point being - let's not rush.
