I think there are enough references to "the TODO list" in our archives
and elsewhere that we can't just go and rename it.  Also, it's not the
case that *all* the stuff there lacks consensus.

It'd be better to put a disclaimer at the front pointing out that some
of these items are unfinished because of lack of consensus, not just
lack of code.
