    Agreed (although 6 should not be a showstopper imo).

    a. would not really matter for most of our users, so it wouldn't matter
    too much to postpone it
    b. _yes_ please.... virtually every WP document with headers/footers has
    it... for some stupid reason.
    c. would be lovely, but I think to would put 2.2 another few months
    away. As much as I would love to see this, we should postpone it
    d. see c
    e. should not be too hard... maybe if someone finds the time.. it won't
    break anything else when it is implemented.

    This is what I'm aiming at. Out current number of open bugs is INSANE.
    We all should really focus on getting some of them killed. We are way
    over 1000 open bugs, which should be more like 500 or so.

    Bye!
