Hi all,

It really is time we pushed a Mallard 1.1 out the door. There are
features that people have been waiting for. Many of them are easy. Some
of them have existed in experimental for a while. Below is a list of
issues for features that could possibly be in 1.1.

If you have comments or questions on any of these, reply or leave
comments on the issues. If you just really like something but don't have
much to say, feel free to leave a "+1" comment on GitHub. If you think
something is too half-baked for now, tell me you think we should defer
to 1.2. (I think quite a few of these should be deferred.)
