Hello all,

I am still struggling to implement properly an efficient Backward
Differential Formulas (BDF) integrator for stiff problems in the ODE
package, to solve MATH-172. I fear I won't be able to finish this soon.
As the release of 2.0 is now mostly blocked by this issue, I would
propose to postpone it to 2.1, as well as MATH-194 and MATH-195 which
are not major ones. Do you agree with this ?

The other remaining issues are MATH-261 concerning generics in Frequency
and MATH-224 concerning aggregate statistics.

I have tried some workarounds to remove the 7 warnings I get in
Frequency (3 concerning use of raw types, 4 concerning type safety). I
did not succeed in reducing the number of warnings, I only moved them
around or even increased the number. Does someone smarter than me have a
clue to finish this or do we close the issue with the current state,
which is much better than what we had a few months ago ?
I am OK with the s/Object/Comparable change sebb suggested a while back. If that improves things significantly, we should go ahead with it. Otherwise, I am fine leaving as is.
Concerning aggregate statistics, is the current state stable enough or
do we need more work on this ?
I think the current code is stable enough, but I have to confess to some second thoughts on the approach and I have been working on an alternative using static methods that take StatisticalSummaryValues rather than stats themselves and just compute the aggregated values. This has the advantage of working much better in distributed envirionments and eliminating the need for synchronization (which could kill performance). I will complete this in the next couple of days, commit and we can decide.
I would really much like to have 2.0 out soon now.

The other thing that I have been on the fence about is the multiple regression API in general and the GLSMultipleLinearRegression implementation. The latter has a naive implementation that I have not had cycles or itch to fix. I would appreciate some more eyeballs on this and opinions on whether we should hold it or release it. Same with API in general, which is missing quite a few things (OK for first release), but may be overly complex - especially if we drop the GLS class. Suggestions for improvement are welcome.
