Up until now, understandably, people have been focusing on getting the
required features in. My expectation is that, once we're past the beta
release and new features are no longer allowed for 1.1.1, focus will
shift to closing off as many of the open issues/PRs as possible.

Mostly, I think what remains are bugs and not features. If there are
features then no one cared enough about them to push them forward to get
into 1.1.1 and so we should reclassify them with a post-1.1.1 milestone.
In some exceptional cases, if someone can make a good enough case, we
might consider merging them during the beta - but that might take an omc
vote, so the case would have to be very strong.

We have always treated missing documentation as a bug so I don't see a
problem there.
