[Zope-CMF] CMF 2.1

Hi all,

I just looked over the CMF roadmap document since we're supposed to  
have a 2.1 beta in a matter of weeks and now I'm wondering if this is  
possible/desirable right now:

http://www.zope.org/Products/CMF/docs/roadmap

First of all, some of the work items on the list are half-finished or  
still off on some branch. Secondly, when comparing our roadmap to the  
Plone roadmap...

http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap

... I'm not sure if we need a 2.1 right now. We seem to be producing  
one-off release branches that are either not used at all or used  
sporadically by specific projects. By the way, Florent, do you guys  
have such a roadmap doc that I can look at once in a while? Something  
that at least says "version X is planned for Y and will run on CMF  
version Z".

Also, one of the highly desirable items on the list, the local skin  
customization, has an outside dependency that we need to wait on.

So, what's the consensus? Do we postpone 2.1 to get more things done?  
Do we cut the list of planned features down and create yet another  
release branch that might not even be used? I'm hoping this  
discussion can foster more active collaboration on roadmaps between  
the different "CMF customers". There's no sense following a strict  
time-based policy that is currently out of sync with what the  
"customers" want/need.
