I'd like this to be a fairly short release cycle (get it out by the end of the year) and focus on bug fixes rather than enhancements. Of particular interest is in reducing the ICE list down to size:

https://d.puremagic.com/issues/buglist.cgi?keywords=ice&query_format=advanced&keywords_type=allwords&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED

There are 62 at the moment. If we can cut this in half that will be great progress. ICE's make us all look bad and unprofessional far out of proportion to their technical value. In today's compiler ecosystem ICE's are far less acceptable than they used to be.

Even if you are not up to submitting a fix, vetting the issues (many will likely be already fixed), getting reduced test cases, etc., is all valuable work.

Also, if there are any ICE's that are not tagged with the ICE keyword, please fix them!

Let's kick some ice ass.

Woooooooow! Planning! I like it 8-)

Seriously, I think is very good to say what do you want to focus on this release and when do you want to release it. Thanks!

I think it's a good idea. As the ice numbers show a lot of them were reported recently.
