I think we are in a good shape, and only the bugs in bugzilla with the
GNOME-DB-1-0 milestone are the things to be done.

The goal is to stabilize as much as possible, so the best thing is to

Vivien is refactoring mergeant, so any work on this should be postponed
until Vivien commits his code to CVS. For the time being, bug fixing
mergeant might be a good idea also.
