I do not think we should consider too many not done items for 12.0. I do not think releases should be a wish-list. If trunk is working with no blockers we should build a release, anything not done and not committed goes in next release. I do not like cherry picking issues and then waiting for them. Historically adding types is much more complicated then people think. Generally there are three or more follow on issues for things people did not consider in the initial patch, it worked this way for binary, decimal, date, so I am not super eager to announce and release a large feature that was just committed and not heavily battle tested. The npath thing is a blocker and we can not release without that.
Committers should review the other blockers as well, and either mark them not as blockers, or work to get them committed, because if we have blockers, we should dealing with them.
