Here's the updates to the work granted soft freeze exemptions, which
occurred over the last 2 weeks (*just to my knowledge, not
authoritative!)

- Processing SAGA provider: merged!
- Processing GRASS provider: merged!
- Datum transform refactoring: PR for the core changes is open, but
needs in depth review by at least 2 core developers. GUI component is
being worked on by Denis, but is blocked by the core PR.
- Layouts: still WIP - all existing item types have now been ported
(but not merged to master yet), so I've just got a few remaining
functions to port (exporting, saving, templates)
- Metadata store: PR has been reviewed, waiting on required changes to be made
- Forms & fields gui rework: merged!

So we're a lot closer than two 3 weeks ago :)
