What concerns me is that we thought that after 7.3, and didn't do much
work on either until we got near 7.4 release.  I wonder if this is just
going to be a pattern, where these items are so large, we can't get any
motivation to focus on them until we get near the final release.  I
guess if each final release gets us a little closer, eventually we will
get there, but this process is not ideal.

The big puzzle is how do you get people (including myself) motivated to
work on a feature that takes a _huge_ amount of work to see any payoff? 
I would like to know.  Anyone?
