Suggestion: Ales you can file tasks for all this (incl. one master tracking task mentioned in core/www/plans/plan.xml for 4.0) and I will send a summary of the plan to nbdev. Sounds OK?
Downgrading priority of this common task as a result of previous downgrading of individual subtasks.
Don't see this happening anytime soon.
Most of these things fixed in 5.0.
