BTW, pretty pictures such as Josh draws in the above talk should not be
confused with reality ;-).  The reality of this project is that *there
is no overall plan*.  Individual developers work on what they choose to.
It's true that at the moment there seem to be quite a number of people
focusing on performance in enterprise-size applications, but that's not
because there's any central plan saying that that's what we're doing.

In particular, asking for a list of features that will be done in
particular future releases shows a complete lack of understanding
of the process ...
