 away), in order in which they will likely be done:

-* TESTING (needed for DV, DHT, Topology)
-  - implement library for local testing
-    + consider changing API for peer-group termination to 
-      call continuation when done
-  - implement testcases for library
-    + test basic peer connect
-    + test group start
-* TEST:
-  - topology (needs TESTING)
-  - hostlist (maybe easier with TESTING?)

 0.9.0pre0:
 * UTIL:
-  - heap: "remove_node" can hardly be O(1) given the API, but it should be (!)
   - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
   - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
            (async peerinfo would not be right)
+  - OS: existing waitpid call is not nice (not integratable with scheduler! fix this!)
+* STATISTICS:
+  - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice
+  - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
+* ARM:
+  - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
+    [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!]
 * Module features to implement:
   - advanced FS API parts
     + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
