That is a good overview. One thing to point out is that the whole test CI infrastructure is being updated as part of the 4th item, 'remove PHP-native MapScript', as that is/was long overdue and very important for the 8.0 release. I'm personally working (with others) on items 1,3,4 but I was also thinking of adding tests for item 2 as well, if others cannot.

(I had updated the labels of those 4 pull requests recently, as release manager, as I think those 4 pull requests are the last items before the 8.0 beta release)

Re-visiting this - I'm not sure what's blocking us moving forward w/beta. I see 4 open pull requests...

 1. FlatGeobuf - would be nice to include in 8.0 although we could
    target 8.2 if it might take awhile. There's no reason an 8.2
    couldn't follow on fairly quickly.
 2. coshp utility - IMHO it could be merged "as is" and then open a
    separate ticket to add tests.
 3. CMake policy warnings - seems like a blocker
 4. remove PHP-native MapScript - seems like a blocker

There are other bugs of course (there will always be bugs) but I don't consider those to be blockers for a release - other opinions welcome.

    Hi all: Seems like things for 8.0 are in a good place. Thoughts on
an initial beta release this week? —Steve
