Aside from kind of wishing that this document was somehow combined with 
the roadmap itself [1] (in order to prevent page creep, it may just be 
my preference) it looks like a good start.

I decided to stay out of the huge thread from a few days ago, but since 
I'm already writing, I'd like to say that I'd like a more transparent 
roadmap, mainly for selfish reasons.  I want to get a sense of what's 
planned, and what is going into a release _before_ it's been released. 
Every release has bug fixes, but most of our releases have a compelling 
story.  1.7.0 gave us, among much else, a new RasterSymbolizer that 
worked, yet I only found this out after it was released.

Speaking as someone who wishes to spend a good chunk of his time here 
working on documentation, I would like to keep more in lockstep with the 
developers, so that docs can be planned and written _before_ the 
software is released.  The way things are working for 1.7.1 is a good 
start (as in, I think I'm aware of what's new and exciting, and am 
writing accordingly).
