While I've been trying to keep myself as far as possible from git-gnus
(It's not for the faint hearted), it would be very much intresting to
see what will Cloudy Gnus has to offer from a feature perspective and
what old functionality is expected to break.

Eventually, at some undefined (to me, that is) time in the future, the
new Cloudy Gnus will hit the bzr emacs trunk which I follow, and thus
if something breaks, I have to be in brace-for-impact-mode.

Is there any comprehensive list of things that WILL be changed and are
expected to break in the near future with regards to the standard
functionality that is already offered by Gnus?

p.s. reading the cloudy-gnus thread a while back did not help me
understand the spirit of this effort -- noticing that I'm totally biased
for local mail.
