All this talk about 1.0 makes me worried.

[BCS]

I think you are on the right track.

What is needed is some place to formally maintain a list of issues. NG, bug
list, wiki, doesn't matter. What maters is that it should have some sort of
process to it (candidate -> discussion -> ratification -> solution ->
implementation, or something like that). This should be keep carefully separate
from the bugs lists as these issues are not related to AN implementation.

Thoughts, comments??
