Sounds good to me.

Perhaps it’s time to look at the milestones we had agreed on this
summer [0], see where we are, and whether there are additional ‘features’
we’d like to get in.

My impression is that one of the main items on this list is the
integration of (part of) Guile-Lib.  I’d also like to have the inliner
by 2.0.  What do you think?

Then there’s a lot of testing, bug fixing, porting, improvement of the
tools (debugger, profiler, code coverage), etc.
