Changes (by joedolson):

 * milestone:  6.9 => Future Release


Comment:

 Moving to future release. I'm currently leaning towards making JS updates
 to rewrite links that act as buttons to be transformed into buttons when
 JS is active, but this is likely to entail extensive JS and CSS changes,
 and may have some visual and functional compatibility issues for
 extenders. It should be done early in a cycle.
