I'm very much interested into the next release, mainly because of the 
jinja templating. If the completion of the schedulerdb work will take 
quite some work / time, would it make sense to consider the next release 
to be done before that work is completed ? (Especially if there are no 
regressions that need to befixed first.)

Also, I don't remember having seen an answer to this question: How will 
the schedulerdb affect users who don't need it ? Is its use (with all 
its prerequisites) optional ?

Thanks,
         Stefan
