Are there any important missing features in the pipeline?
important to who? There is a years-long backlog of little features that
will be incredibly useful to people, plus ongoing work on the feature of
performance that never ends.
When Debian Jessie is out, things are done for a moment. I am not
suggesting to stop further development at all, but we should focus for
3-6 months on a test suite (and remember, the test suite will only
uncover bugs, and I am expecting to find a lot of bugs).
There are dozen of modules. Most of them were created to solve one
special problem. But many of them are lacking of the modern syntax and
or documentation. Often they don't even work.
The issue is the split between core and contributed code. The core code
has pretty good test coverage and fair documentation. The Contributed
modules are in much worse shape. It doesn't help that there is no good
deliniation between the two.
I could split the contributed ones off to a separate directory tree. The
drawback is that the way git and (thus github and others) work we loose
easy to follow commit history for those moved files. That's the prime
reason I have not done it so far.
git should be able to follow file moves across directories. It doesn't show up
in the diff as a move unless you add -m to the diffstats lines, but git blame,
etc will follow the history.
