Before I start asking what about XXX, is there a list of what major stuff
is already considered to be in? I don't see some things on your list,
perhaps you regard them as done.

I really hope these do get in!

	I fear Keith might go SPC if this had to wait for 2.7

	I thought these were all progressing nicely

	Definitely want to stabilize these
> o UDF Write support for CD-R/RW (packet writing)  (Jens Axboe, Peter Osterlund)
	Hopefully this is close as well
> o Full compliance with IPv6                       (Alexey Kuznetzov, Jun Murai, Yoshifuji Hideaki, USAGI team)
	could ease in 2.6.x if not?

	This really shouldn't wait for 2.8!

	This would help db folks now, and who knows how big
	a single drive will be before 2.7?

	Sure would be nice if it worked on desktops as well as laptops

I sure would like to see documentation improvements on this list! For 2.6
it would be beautiful is no features went into /proc/sys unless they went
into the Documentation directory as well.
