This seems to me to be nonsense.  You've never maintained the
back-branch versions of the TODO list, so they're out of date anyway
--- ie, they don't account for problems discovered post-release.

In any case I've always thought that the TODO was developer-oriented
documentation, not something users would read.  If there's a shortcoming
in a feature, it ought to be documented in the SGML manual.
