With no pressing timelines, we are slacking off again.
Then let's get a new deadline in place. What's holding us back from timetabling a 1.17wmf2?? It strikes me that the features that will appear in that are fundamentally different from the blockers on the 1.17.0 tarball, and as you say, all the focus seems to be on that at the expense of attention to bleeding-edge code. 1.17 is feature-frozen now, we know what's going into it and what work needs to be done, and we have an implicit deadline (ie ASAP) for getting it finished. A new WMF release deadline in early- to mid-March would give us a much-needed incentive to wage war once again against the CR backlog, and move further towards the continuous-release-to-wmf model that I think we're pretty much unanimously in support of.
