After we released 1.0, we looked through the Future category and decided
which features we wanted to shoot for for 1.2 and then changed their
milestone to 1.2 and began implementing them. Just because we haven't
commented on them in a while doesn't mean we don't know they exist :-)

Eventually we'll get to them, it just takes time.

No, because this will just get in the way. It's much easier for us to
decide what is most needed/doable in a certain timeframe. If everyone
started changing milestones of bugs it would just cause confusion
anyway.
