Exactly - this is why we need a "target milestone" field so we can say "targetted to 4.7+" and have a status of "patch (code needs work)" so that information about the availability of code doesn't get lost.
And I know talk is cheap and code is gold - I'll check for/add issues for these items today and assign myself.

That would be extremely useful. If a feature patch is targeted at 4.7, great, let's review it. But if the author says that it's targeted for 4.8 or later, then at least for right now I would rather spend time on patches aimed at 4.7, unless they're extremely cool-looking. :-) This would probably mean patches flagged as "post-4.7 target" won't get as much attention until after 4.7 ships. That is a good thing, as attention should be focused on 4.7-related issues until then. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
