Are there any kind of concrete plans for specific future versions of MediaWiki, or is it just a matter of "we've got a bunch of bugs and feature requests and we'll do the ones we feel like".
The reason I ask is that http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_roadmap is quite prominently linked to from the main page of mediawiki.org, but contains no useful content. It has dates for versions 1.9 and 1.10, but under 'planned milestones' they both just say 'no plans yet'.
If there is a grand plan, or even a not-so-grand plan (or, to be honest, even some small items that are definitely going to make it into the next release) it would be good to get them on this page. If not, then we should rework the page to say as much and remove the link from the main page.

Generally we have a few things floating around which we'd like to make sure we get in, some of which happen sooner and others which happen later.
There's not a concrete master plan at this time.

Please remove any such links you see to that kind of page; they're never official or maintained.
