I hope I'm not speaking out of turn, but, I believe...

Once 5.7100 goes gold, "cata-moose" will be merged with 5.70/trunk
(mst will be the one to do that, I'm sure). From there we'll have to
make sure 5.80 is feature complete, fully tested and backwards
compatible -- this last point may require compatibility shims to be
put in place, possibly in the form of Catalyst 5.71x releases should
it affect the core.

Obviously this is a very general outline and has no fixed deadlines --
it'll be ready when its ready. Naturally, when we feel like we're
close, we'll do a dev release.
