I'll see if I can work on finishing it, and hopefully we can get that
in the next "rc".  If it is in fact a blocker it should be treated as
such.

The raft of "last minute" issue requests for 8.2 appearing in this
thread indicates to me once again the problems with Sage's release
scheduling, or lack thereof.  Without more communication / planning of
Sage releases no one really "knows" for sure when a Sage release is
imminent until some commit happens to get tagged "rc".  *Then* it
becomes a panic of "oh, those issues I haven't been working on
(because I was busy with other things, etc.) are suddenly higher
priority", because otherwise they won't be in a final release until
after the next 3+ month development cycle.

I think this can be mitigated significantly simply by having a rough,
but published release cycle (say, one every 3 months), with cutoff
dates for non-critical issues, and reminders (to this list) of those
cutoff dates so that any people can have a chance to advocate for
and/or complete work that they hope to see in the release *before* we
start tagging things as "release candidates".

Best,
E
