I know a bunch of this stuff is janky as all get out, because as much of the
jankiness is my own fault as anybody else's. But so much work has gone into
zuulv3 beyond what OpenStack needs, I am still not convinced we need to wait
for any of this. Maybe the zuul-web stuff, since changing URLs after a release
is going to be a bear.

I'm confident we'll get some of these done soon, and I may even get a chance to
contribute directly. But we all know that complexity creeps into engineering in
the most frustrating ways. I'd prefer that this list gets pared down, and that
the release comes basically at or right before PTG, even if this list doesn't
all happen.
