Features go into the unstable tree when they're ready. 

We'll start a release cycle when there's enough new stuff to
warrant it. [The L2 switching and bi-directional console code
might be even be enough to warrant a 1.3 release, but I'd like to
get some of the memory reservation control stuff in their too.]

No, not necessarily.

The L2 switching code for the current IO architecture is already
written and is simply awaiting integration with the main tree.
This will need to be ported to the new IO architecture when its
available.
