No, in "some weeks" ("some" is an unknown value ;) )

Yes (timers, with jiffies/ticks?). I also would like to introduce "mutex" in 
sys_arch (since it's also break existing ports). Your opinion?

It depend of the time you need to check in it, you're the only one to know 
that. More, it's an optimization...

>Ip_frag changes should go in, too.
Here, it's more a bug fix. It should be good to have it in current release, no?

>The rest of the tasks and most of the bugs can be delayed I think.
Pretty agree, but I think we should check each one, and that each active 
developer give his opinion. Kieran, I think you should open a task like "lwIP 
1.3.0 release" to talk about that.

What I would like to have closed before next release is:

bug #20429: Potential problem with IP Fragmentation and TCPRetransmit
bug #20318: api_msg "recv" callbacks don't call pbuf_free in all error cases
bug #20315: Problem in the use of tcp_listen in api_msg.c
bug #20288: event_callback is called from multiple threads without locking
bug #20287: tcp_output_nagle sends too early
bug #20021: conn->sem is only signaled one-way
bug #19953: Bug in TCP State Machine - SYN_RCVD
bug #1902: Timeouts and semaphores/mailboxes are too tightly integrated

task #6969: Review usage of conn->err in netconn layer

And perhaps :
patch #5741: bug in out of sequence queue processing - incoming segment is 
larger than the old segment

There is also some PPP specific problems:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?5628
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?17726 (same as previous)
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?13315 (old, June 2005)
I sent an email to found a PPP developer, but no answers. So, perhaps PPP is 
not something we can't maintain. Last user which seems to be active on that 
(except Jonathan) is "Janusz U". What do with PPP? Let it like this? Or...

Freeze? Now? We should really talk about the new timers before releasing
a new version, since that
breaks compatibility!

Checksum on copy is on the way, so that should make it into a new
release, too.
Ip_frag changes should go in, too.
The rest of the tasks and most of the bugs can be delayed I think.

Once we have the timers, freezing could be a good thing to release a new
version and update
the documentation for it.

Before that, should we 'filter' all bugs & tasks to only process
priorities > 3?
