Hi all. As we get closer to 1.7.0, it's nice to be able to identify the various blocker issues for release. I'll send a separate mail asking about the various issues independently, but for now, let's agree to only use the '1.7.0' milestone for things that block the release. If it's something that "I'm working on and will probably be in 1.7.0, but isn't blocking release", go ahead and put it in 1.7-consider, and then move it to 1.7.0 if/when the issue is closed prior to release.
FWIW, there are currently 36 '1.7.0' issues, some of which as meta-issues for things like wc-ng, while others are quite specific. Only four of them list any type of ownership. Thanks, -Hyrum
