Why would you want to change this? We've got pathmove for those cases
where the path matters...?


Performance is certainly one reason. Getting correct behavior without using pathmove is another. The target that started all this doesn't _work_ unless you use the shortest path between states. pathmove is fine for special circumstances, but when a variant of a target needs the shortest path, either the target gets changed to use pathmove for everything or you just make normal state movement work better.

- Cortex-A8 support

The first 2 seem to have good progress being made while the 3rd has had some initial discovery but no real development. Would it be reasonable to start a 0.2 branch after the first 2 items are resolved? Are there other major
items that I missed?

I think Cortex-A8 would be a good milestone to release against. It is a bit
into the future + a major new feature...


I was mainly concerned with various distributions and packagers using SVN snapshots again rather than the released version. I'm all for doing a release after Cortex-A8 support is in, but is it reasonable to put out an interim release?
