Can you explain this #3? I don't quite get it.

These #6 and 7 will have to wait, but they are not specificaly
release-related. At the least, 6 won't be feasible until after we
release 4.11.

When you say configurations, do you refer to how the packages are
built? E.g. for autotools packages, the command line options to
"configure"?
