I would beg to differ (e.g. how can anyone build a package when the milestone doesn't have a VCS branch/tag and isn't released), but I realise I don't understand at all how Kicad releases are planned and executed.
What /is/ the right way to track issues targeted for future milestones, if not milestones in the issue tracker? Awful as Launchpad is, I find it useful to be able to see what remains to be done.
