we still have some things to solve in the new labelling; I think of

I think we should start documenting what is missing from the new
symbology; I do not think we have a complete list yet

+1!

For this I think we should get rid of most crashes, still a bit too
frequent.

I think we need more cleanup than new functionalities.

All the best.
