However, I didn’t have any success harvesting a CKAN 1.8 instance or between PyCSW instances, and I also failed to harvest from PyCSW using CKAN 1.8, GeoPortal, or GeoNetwork (all of the failed tests were with ISO 19139 documents).
For the record, the CSW interface offered by CKAN 1.8 is very limited,
not intended to be use as a production CSW interface. CKAN 2.0 will
use pycsw as CSW interface.

It is indeed, slowly but surely :) Other priorities have moved it
forward to January, but we have a plan and expect to start working on
it on January.
