 ------------------------------------
 
-* Continue with general reduction in use of Perl.  This is not because
-  we think Perl is a bad thing or anything like that, but because a
-  major consumer (RHEV) does not want to include the Perl interpreter
-  in the tiny hypervisor they ship, thus any tool written in or
-  requiring Perl cannot be used by RHEV.  OCaml and other high-level
-  compiled languages are fine.  For 1.8 we rewrote many tools in C.

 * Make 'guestfish --ro' be the default, and get users to use
   'guestfish --rw' for write access (but allow the default to be
   overridden in a configuration file).  This was originally planned
-  for 1.8 but there's not nearly enough adoption of the new 'guestfish
-  --rw' option out there to do this yet.

 * Allow alternate methods to start the appliance, including through
-  libvirt and by connecting to an existing appliance.  This was
-  originally planned for 1.8 but we didn't get patches in time.
-
-* Deeper and wider support for progress messages.  Many long-running
-  operations in guestfs-browser don't display progress messages, eg.
-  "du", "tar-in/out", because it's hard to estimate the runtime of
-  these commands.  We should modify the protocol so that the library
-  can hint at when progress messages would be useful (there's no point
-  going to extra lengths to generate them if on the library side no
-  one is registered to listen to them), and modify the daemon to try
-  harder to generate them, even if they are only estimates.  Also
-  GtkProgressBar supports a "pulse mode" where it indicates activity
-  with no time estimate, and we should try to support that as well.
-
-* Better handling of partitions, including MBR extended partitions
-  (RHBZ#593511, RHBZ#602997, RHBZ#642821).
+  libvirt, by connecting to an existing appliance, and remotely over
+  ssh.  Libvirt integration was originally planned for 1.10 but we
+  didn't get patches in time.
+
+* Write a new partition handling library to replace parted, and use it
+  instead of parted.  (RHBZ#593511, RHBZ#642821).
 
 * Hot plugging of disks using QMP.  This would allow more efficient
   reuse of the appliance in some circumstances: multiple disks
   (ie. VMs) can be added in turn to the same appliance.  In particular
   this would help virt-df.
