The only flag I'd raise is that I'd like to get Guo Rui's
sparse-directories deselection changes merged:

   http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/issue-2843-dev

I've started bringing the branch up-to-date in r33560 and r33561, but
haven't finished yet. I won't be able to resume work on that until
Nov. 1st. While I think I will be able to get it all merged by the 6th,
it may be somewhat destabilizing.

My proposal is that we just play it by ear. I'll complete the merge (on
the branch), play around with it, post results, and then we decide if we
want it in 1.6 or 1.7. As long as it either gets into 1.6, or gets into
trunk immediately following 1.6 (so it's in 1.7), that'd be fine, though
of course 1.6 would be my preference.
