Yes it is, unfortunately the page and its subpages contain a lot of
cruft:

* many things have been fixed already

* some things are wild ideas

* some things are bad ideas.

Ideally, all ideas should be reviewed, to check if they still apply to
recent 1.5 versions.

 - If they don't, they should be removed and the  documentation /
   regression-test should be updated

 - If they still apply, they should be categorized, either as bug,
   feature-request, Big Project or wild idea. Preferably with some
   sort ranking to tell wether they're important or not.

   Of course, we should not start new projects within the 1.5 cycle --
   the last two (spacing and grace notes) have taken long enough.

In other words, if anyone has some time on his hands, and can run the
latest 1.5 release, then please take up this job. It gives us a much
better idea of how far 1.6 is away.
