This section shows things we are currently evaluating. Though of course we do this because we would like to work on the stuff it doesn't mean that the outcome of our evaluation will be that we will do it in the next release or even anytime soon. It depends on the estimated effort (based on the outcome of the evaluation), the priority of the feature and the available development resources if and when these things get implemented.
