It seems that the Unicorn release we are preparing for is not dependent on
any of the points above, so maybe we can do a special release right now
without these improvements? (It could be a DOLFIN 0.7.1-1 etc. or
similar?)

Then there could be a more substantial next release (e.g. DOLFIN 0.7.2)
with the points listed fixed.
