Start the 22.2 pretest (hopefully a short pretest cycle). 2. Release 22.2 without getting distracted by more merges. 3. Merge unicode-2 to the trunk (I think it is ready now, so immediately after 22.2 release would be good). 4. Merge Cocoa port (if 22.2 pretest starts taking a long time though, it might be better to merge to unicode-2 earlier). 5. Enable new font-backend by default. 6. Remove the old font code (which unless someone implements a backend for Carbon, implies the end of the Carbon port) It's not a timetable, but I don't think we need a timetable, just a plan. It's a good plan.
