When you say next release, are talking about a 2.0 Alpha or 2.0 final?
If you mean final, perfect. If not, IMHO I would dedicate more time to
fix more basic use cases for refactoring features. I don't know if there
are still bugs open on bugzilla, but with a brief look I see many
regressions: go to declaration not shown in many cases, looking for
references takes a lot of time, etc..
I will see if I can report some of those, although it's difficult to
isolate them.
