It feels like I'm nagging now, because I think it is the 3rd time I ask about 
it.

In the past three months, it appears to me we have not gotten any closer really 
to getting MediaWiki 1.16 out of the door. There have been requests to get the 
FIXMEs in Code Review done. At that time there were 30 or so. By now there are 
some 64[1].

There are about 50 commits every day, and Code Review state changes shows there 
are fewer than 10 state changes per day on average[2].

I know it is more fun to add new stuff, but most of the MediaWiki instances run 
on stable MediaWiki "quarterly" releases, of which the last one was r48811 on 
30 April 2009, which is a whopping almost over 9 months ago and over 12,000 
revs from our current trunk (r61161). We need to provide them with some of the 
enormous improvements we have made since 1.15.

How can we get this MediaWiki 1.16 thing out of a the door and return to a more 
reliable "quarterly release" schedule - even if that means only 3 versions a 
year?
