2.02 Release roadmap

Hello, all. It's time to start gearing towards 2.02 release
- 2.01 number will be skipped in order to follow odd/even convention for
release/git.
On 17th December will be the feature freeze, after it only bugfixes and
documentation will be committed.
Release will be when we're confifent enough in absence of major bugs.
Features I expect to go in before freeze:
- Leif Lindholm's arm64 port: it's pretty complete from what I saw.
- multiboot2 extension to skip teminating boot services
- mac HFS+ install
- yeeloong 3A support (almost done)
- grub-file
- truecrypt
- Andrey's inline inode patch

In case anyone has unreviewed patches please inform me as soon as
possible (mail could have been lost or I might have forgotten some of them)

It is too late, then, to submit a patch adding a new command to GRUB? I've
been meaning to submit it but have been busy... it's already done and
everything, just want to see if I can get upstream. :)

It's not frozen yet (see the date). Then, of course, it depends on how
big and intrusive the code is.

What is the state of new-autogen branch? That's something I'd
definitely welcome as autogen is not present in all distros which makes
maintaining patches that touch build system rather unpleasant.

That's on master now following an ack from Vladimir on IRC.  Please let
me know of any build regressions resulting from this.
