No.  There is still quite a bit of work to do, at least in the areas
that I've been keeping a closer eye on.  (The packaging system still
needs some tweaks, I hope to populate elpa.gnu.org with a few major
packages that are in the process of copyright assignment, the CEDET port
needs to be improved and synched to upstream, etc...)

I personally hope that we will be ready early for pretest next year.
But, Stefan has been taking a look at lexical scoping, and I haven't
checked in with him about whether he plans to include that for Emacs 24
(Stefan?).  If it's added, I imagine that take at least a few additional
months.
