I listed most of my own (ideas, I guess) on that along with the 1.3.0 
release announcement. With flagrant musts and must'n'ts.

Wouldn't kill us to at least review what parts of the docs are 
inconsistent with the server, laying them out on the list, or just 
heavyhandedly deciding they differences are meaningless and updating the 
docs.

I guess the bigger deal is to make stats work. Trond's apparently 
already fixed the syscall performance issues, although we have not 
verified if there are raw CPU regressions or the like (also detailed in 
my release notes).

But yeah, the 1.3.0 series is open for minor changes. You don't have to 
do them yourself if you're busy though, since it was me who put it out 
as such :)
