That is a good thing :-) The items in this list are things that are likely
to introduce instability to trunk if we start working on them right now, so
it is better to wait for the release before pushing changes into the trunk
for these issues.

Let's focus on getting the 5.2 release done, including giving Edgar our full
support to close any issues that are critical to the release. Once that is
done, we can address the issues that are flagged for follow up.
