It's all a question of resources. And with the limited amount of development effort being applied to 1.7 targeted features, such as wc-ng, it may take a while to get everything finished. We've already tried to strip out as much excess as possible, but even the smallest releasable chunk is still quite sizable. > I know work is being done, I've just lost track of what is in scope > for this release and needs to be done to get us to the end. For WC-NG: * Loggy transition * Locking improvements * Pristine handling * Centralizing the metadata * API audit and cleanup That's a very high-level overview, and I may have forgotten something, but those are the kernel of what remains for wc-ng. -Hyrum
