I don't know what decision was taken. I'm not against it, but waiting
for the next release might be a good solution too (so the issues can be
addressed). Including it now might help g-p-m get better, though :-)

I'll contact George and Davyd.

Hrm. What worries me is that we've not done some of the items on this
page: I wanted to push the usability people to make UI review, eg.

While I think nearly everyone in the team should be listed for nearly
all items, I believe it's good to have someone in particular who will be
ashamed if a task is not completed in due time ;-)
