These are proposed features that, as of the close date for proposals, lacked concrete proposals, proof-of-concept implementations, or details needed to start implementing.

* [ticket:6972 Please make Django installable with easy_install] (ticket #6972, #3812) ''[Will be fixed with the 1.0.1 release]''.
* [http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/564cf6d244c8b68c Create a benchmark to measure the impact changes have to code] ''[No concrete proposal; doesn't need to be part of the release process reguardless]''
* Multilingual support in the db. There are some projects that could be integrated into the trunk as django-multilingual. ''[No concrete proposal]''
