Raster symbolization wise, I believe we're still stuck on the proposal,
that required lots of changes in the implementation to be accepted.
The set of classes is not small, so I'd either feel comfortable of 
merging it right now, to allow some time for testing, or wait for the
next release (thought I know there are people waiting...)

About bug fixes, we still have 38 unresolved issues in this one,
some of which were opened against 1.6.0 and have been moved forward
at each release (like GEOS-1580, which has been opened in December I think):
http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolution=-1&pid=10311&fixfor=14102
There are also some like GEOS-1373 that have been marked as critical
since 2 releases, and I don't really know why, or some like
GEOS-1768, which are regressions from the point of view of MapBuilder
users (thought in fact our behaviour is more consistent today than
it was in 1.5.x times).

An issue that seems important but that hasn't been scheduled for
any release is http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1807, thought
to fix it, it seems we'll need to backport from trunk the
improved GridCoverageRenderer (Alessio, Simone, is it something we
can do this week?).

In any case, we'd need to shorten the list quite a bit imho to make
a release and decide what to move to 1.6.4. Oh, we also have some issues
assigned to Ivan Willig, that has ended his internship, so they should
be reassigned.
Cheers
Andrea
