Here is an "issues" list I am keeping track of on the back of my head (and in "TODO" file on 'todo' branch, which is not updated often enough).

The tail end of this list is probably a bit stale, as I am running out of time tonight and did not have enough time to check the current status. Please spot issues that have been resolved and report them.

  There is a quite well done series from Jörg Sommer I have to queue but
  I am getting the feeling that it did not get enough review from the
  list.  I am reading it through (slowly) myself, but I'd appreciate more
  review comments on the list (not limited to this series).

  some refs due to non-ffness (Daniel)
