Good idea.

Something like that.

I'm not sure if "stable" is the right word for what I mean.  But you got the
idea.

Feature-freeze the stable version.  If you branch off from today's planner
code, remove undocumented/experimental features.  (i.e. planner-diary for
stable would not (yet) contain the code for schedule/apps and no code for
public/private diaries).

Maybe we should start by defining the feature scope of planner stable:

- Links (Gnus, BBDB, files)
- Tasks
- planner-diary
- remember ? (I don't use it)
- a stable version of emacs-wiki

BTW: Is this the right time to change the legacy key-bindings?  Planner has
grown a lot since John started it, and while the key-bindings made sense for
early version of planner, they don't leave much room for new features.
