The purpose of this page is to collate the general thoughts on where the community thinks a component should be going. So: What's next for the component... Rewrite? Bugfix release? Give up? Currently only commons-proper components are listed; other components have a goal of trying to get promoted.
One thing to avoid. Don't just say 'release 4.5' because 4.4 is the current version and you presume that'll be the next version. Have an opinion on what's happening etc.
