No.

And they will probably not be merged. (for sure, not in v7 - and
probably not in trunk too)

I may be wrong as I checked very quickly, but:
  - active field on account.journal: IMHO it's a serious bug introduced
    in ocb branch; if you desactivate a journal containing journal items
    you create inconsistencies in all your legal reports. --> We will
    not merge this as it's against the rule defined for financial
    integrity. (the user should never be able to create inconsistencies)
  - adding sequence on account.tax.code.template: as both
    account.tax.code and account.tax.code.template have _order="code"
    and not _order="sequence" (on both trunk and ocb), I don't think we
    should add sequence on account.tax.code.template. --> We should
    better remove sequence on account.tax.code as it's not used.
  - link from crm.phonecall.report to crm.lead: looks like a very
    specific need, so it may be better to put this in a community
    module. (otherwise we can add a lot of fields on every report)
