Giovanni,

would you volunteer for creating a list of missing features in both
new symbology and labeling - compared to the old ones? We have a wiki
page for that, however it has been merely converted to a page with
feature requests... it would need cleaning to a bare minimum to
actually get the idea what is really missing - and how important the
missing features are.

I would suggest that at some point we have to switch to new symbology
even if there are missing features, otherwise we could postpone the
switch forever, waiting for re-implementation of some features.
