Assuming development continues at its current pace, I would imagine we 
stop adding big features in early May.

There were a couple of things from 2.0 roadmap that didn't make the cut:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_1.6

Of these I think a few are worth pursuing:

* XML import/export
* Better uploading functionality
* Link manager / Bookmark overhaul
* WYSIWYG enhancements, spell checking and autosave
* Backend design improvements from Shuttle
* Update checking for WP, plugins, and themes
* Better contextual documentation

Last version we took submissions through the Codex, simply because it 
was a lower barrier to entry and didn't clutter Trac.
