Check OS X version: This is an approval of Josh's suggestion.

Search fields: decision pending. (I personally like trunk search.)

Old subversion: approval.

Deactivation infinite loop: approval.

Updating port groups: Bryan thinks this is blocker.

Is this now reflected in the milestone, or was there no agreement? I
think it's not, is it?

Milstone:

http://trac.macports.org/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&group=status&milestone=MacPorts+1.7.0

So largely there seems to be an agreement, with the exception of
Updating Port Groups. That would be nice, I admit it. But I think
we could also live without until the next release comes, which is
hoped to be sooner anyway.

I will see if I find time to have a look at port groups, but I'm pessimistic
on that, a bit (unfortunately). Maybe somebody else fancies having a look at
it, because that seems to be the only blockers left, according to 50% of
port managers team. The reward would be quite high, because it would
unlock roughly a year worth of changes.
