I think copy/paste is a good feature to have, it's not just you!

Re. roadmap, I have now gone through my document and assigned priorities
based on my guess, and owners (i.e. primary developers) also based on my
guess.
Developers who are going to work on things for V6, please comment or email
me letting me know if you were already planning to take point on some of
these roadmap items, and/or if you'd be willing to help with others.

The priority system I'm using (open to modification):

P0 - Must Ship:  These features define what 6.0 is at a minimum
P1 - Important: We should really aim to get these features into 6.0 (i.e.
maybe delay the release to get them in, on a case-by-case basis), but it
wouldn't be a disaster to ship 6.0 without them
P2 - Nice to Have: These can go into 6.0 if they are done in time, but they
shouldn't delay 6.0 release

Feel free to chime in if you think I've misjudged the priority of anything.
Keep in mind, my point is not to keep anyone from working on anything by
saying it's a lower priority, but rather to try to clarify what the
"minimum" set of things we should have for 6.0 is, so that we can focus
attention on them.
