The features I mentioned were those that are key to 1.0 and have been  
on the feature list for at least a couple of years.

One approach is to limit new features now, with the exeception of  
those needed to complete the 1.0 feature set. This would allow  
stabilization of the code base in other areas while the features (map  
composer, labels, raster catalog) were being completed.
