The functionality and ABI to userspace must be finalized as soon as possible. The status of this is very unclear and should be treated more thoroughly, and it seems it can't be shared with 5 other topics in less than 2 hours. - fullmac support - seems to be very relevant in the next couple of years with the integration of wifi into low power devices running linux. I think that these two topics should take precedence over other topics that although important consume more time in the agenda, and are currently less likely to have impact on the average users such as 11s and 11w. it would be good if these topics will get substantial time slot in the agenda.
