Note: While these are the features that will be tackled first (via funded development), they are not guaranteed for a specific release of 7.x. For example, they may be added over several releases (a few in 7.1, a few in 7.2, etc.)  The number added per release depends heavily on available development resources. If you want to chip in to help things go more quickly, please get in touch.
