Here I meant that since there could be difficult bug, we will not do it
right before release.

That would be really good to have implemented and tested throughout
before release, on all platforms.

Indeed.

In fact this may be not enough time. Right now I'm working on GUI
rendering alone, and I'm busy with my daily jov. LordHoto helps me here
and there, but as of widgets and their configurability I'm still alone.
Moreover, we still have no mock-ups from Krest which is quite important.

Double green. From the other hand our porters learned a lot in last 3
releases 0.8.0-0.8.2, on 0.8.2 everything went quite smooth.
