Qtvcp needs work for an installed system - dependencies, apparently there is a problem getting designer to find the widgets on an installed system (from the forum) Gstat needs a signal audit (some may may be removed) and docs updated. If pncconf is staying for 2.8 it may need updates. Not sure about stepconf.
That seems like most of it - though I haven't seriously thought about release items in a long time.
