Those two appear to be a bit later. We can probably get 0.6 out the
door for them mid-november-ish, with a few more end-user features :-)

Actually, this is good so we now know the target date for xs-0.6
should be early-to-mid Nov.

that's not in 0.5 - we can prioritise for 0.6.

Just a little time... 0.5 is "base frameworks, some basic features",
0.6 is the "now we add useful features" release.

so far I'm hoping to keep my cards close to my chest for 0.7 :-)
