So how are things going -- with the unicode branch, and elsewhere?

Has the Ashenzari debate been resolved?
How far along are the holy monsters?

Generally speaking, could someone please look over the 0.8 plan on the
wiki and re-prioritise the items that haven't been marked as
"deferred" yet?

Bug-wise, it's been pointed out that the Orc bubble issue hasn't been
fixed yet and I'm uncertain about the state of those trove bugs. There
are other bugs but, aside from crashes, these strike me as the most
pressing ones. Crawl's seen a lot of bug fixes lately, so thanks for
all the work, folks! :D
