Everything that Walter hasn't yet got round to working on.  I guess it's 
just a matter of what Walter's priorities are.

No I'm not.  I'm worried by people seemingly asking for D2's stake in 
the ground to be placed before D2 is finished, which'll be even worse if 
even D1 isn't finished by that time.

This idea isn't part of anything I said, so I don't know where you got 
it from.

What I may have said, however, is something to the effect that the bits 
of D1 being worked on don't seem to be the major ones towards D1 being 
finished, such as cleaning up the spec.  One thing I do know is that 
it's been ages since anything under issue 677 that I filed has been fixed.
