-1, for now at least. IMHO, we simply cannot release a v1.0 that has oldforms in it, and without the merge of newforms-admin, we're not going to be able to do that. Newforms-admin is the last piece in an important cycle of refactoring that has been going on since Django was originally open sourced. Magic-removal cleaned up model defintions, the query syntax, and some model loading issues. Queryset-refactor cleaned up the query internals. Newforms cleaned up manipulator/oldforms. Newforms-admin completes the newforms transition. Once NFA is done, I can't really think of an area of Django that will require wholesale change - there are lots of improvements that can be made, but they should be incremental, rather than massive. For those sorts of changes, train-schedule releases are ideal. However, we need a solid foundation to work on. As for getting the work done - I've been distracted for most of this year, but I'm starting to get some free time again. I have been working though a backlog of little tickets. However, most of these are minor feature enhancements. I'm happy to put those on hold and work on newforms-admin instead so we can get this monkey off our backs.
