Specifically, I'm aware of: * Nobody (including me) has had time to look at the qr// reference count issue. * I believe that Rafael and Karl Williamson want to get more Unicode refactoring done. * I've not worked further on the implementation needed for deprecate.pm, CPAN and CPANPLUS to work seamlessly, nor has our hitlist of modules to put out to pasture on CPAN got any longer.
