        Are we actively promoting our favourite proposals?  If so, the
 merging configuration files during upgrade are also valid ideas and
 goot proposals; and one of the students has recently updated the
 comments and added a pointer to a detailed time line.

        However, before everyone breaks out into an impassioned plea for
 their particular proposal, may I suggest we can the campaigning and
 tell people to review _all_ proposals near the cusp, to see if we are
 drawing the line at the correct point? Our favourite proposals might
 not turn out to be the ones pulled above.
