Thanks for the feedback, Simon. I don't see the status as being so vague. Issues to address before the release at listed in the bug tracker for easy reference: http://goo.gl/im3iE The remaining ones are nearly all due to --packs, which can be easily removed as a default. As much I would like "unpull hangs forever" fixed soon, I could justify moving it to 2.8.1, since it's a not a regression from the current release. (Although it's still a regression). There are dozens of other interesting changes in 2.8 which are now summarized in the draft ChangeLog on the wiki. Getting a new release out after months of delays could be a great boost to morale, and motivate people to dive back in to make a great 2.8.1, including --packs enabled by default, and a fix for the "unpull hangs forever" bug.
