feels like a few more milestones, about 3-4, maybe 5:  to give a general 
overview from my perspective:

fallouts from patches has created a Mozilla build that looks like this:


lots of JS errors on the console in nightlies.. for outliner, Mail/news, 
bookmarks, and others are probably creating some problems with stuff below.

visually, it needs a lot of work, for example: the ones that stick out 
for me:

sidebar in mail/news content is horked, a scrollbar exists on startup in 
folder pane, strange offscreen problems with dialogs, missing respin 
icon in classic using tabs, security lock is not correct using tabs, 
dynamic theme switching horks much of the XUL for dialogs, mail/news and 
other windows until restart.. (i say bring back restart change)
and compose message: dropdown box for sender has descriptions like:
Newsgr... and Followu...

composer: getting stuff working better and css support started to come in.

performance in general: getting a lot better.

plugins: people reporting problems with 0.9.7.

Address book, still needs bugs fixed, and testing after migration with 
Outliner.

Bookmarks: cant figure out how to sort/insert properly, or not delete 
when copying/moving to IE folder.. seems seperator insertion doesn't 
know the correct index for insertion, it appears to not be the same 
place you are trying to visually insert at.  Refresh (JS error) file 
bookmark problem exist.

print preview: good.

printing: getting better, dont know how, but its got a few problems still.

context dialogs, dont all work correctly with copy/paste in mail/news.

Save page as: works great, still backgrounds and some css files not 
being saved from subfolders.

API's are coming around..

download manager still needs to land.

LDAP still needs to get in.. Simple Mapi should be in now.

Page Rendering: really good.. still a few issues..

Importing profiles are getting better at importing.

Prefs stick finally, which is good.. and many of the UI prefs are 
finally in, not to mention scrollbar works.

Mozilla crashes a lot more.. then say the 0.9.4 - 0.9.6 milestones.

-----------

All because of trying add as many patches as they can now before 0.9.8 
lands, it looks like all or nothing.. but I think we will not get to 1.0 
nearly as fast as 2 milestones.  Not cleaning fallout problems as fast
shouldn't be overlooked.  There is alot of 0.9.8 targets that will 
probably not make it.
