Hey, that was _before_ May 1, to get a nice feature set to iron out.
One that will make people happy for the next three years we need to
get a feature release out.
Ok, the image stuff seemingly has a few discussions with possible
interface changes pending, but the features themselves were in before
the feature freeze. And that's the point of a freeze: gather things
that really should get it before that all at once, so that one can
the solidify on everything afterwards.
With regard to solidification, I think that many of Emacs' scrolling
functions should get more comfortable with large-height glyphs. While
we should avoid last-minute before-release changes (which might
introduce deadlocks and similar), quite a bit of changes in that area
would qualify not as "features" but as bug fixes. The feature is tall
lines, and it needs work to be considered close to proper.
