Its been about a week since RFS for features to go into 5.3 has gone out
and while there was not a "flood" of ideas there is a substantial list
of key changes people would like to go into this release. I've compiled
a list of all of the suggestions I've received, they are listed below in
a form that will hopefully make it easy for people to vote their yeys
and nays. My hope that we can reach an agreement within 1-2 weeks so 5.3
can be branched and work on it can begin.
