sure, all the above things look good to me.

right, the only thing that I think we need to address before 0.7.0 is
related to the OutOfMemory errors (especially when dealing with large
graphs); for example IMHO even if the memory is not enough to store all the
graph vertices assigned to a certain peer, a scalable system should never
throw OOM exceptions, instead it may eventually process items slower (with
caches / queues) but never throw an exception for that but that's just my
opinion.

+1 for the former, not sure about the latter.

My 2 cents,
