Working from http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/ReleaseProcess...

There are two regressions that must be fixed:
  * http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3998 (Names module DNS
getHostByName error on certain sites)
  * http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4345 (The sid of
ListenAuthenticator is not a unicode object.)

(see http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&type=regression&order=priority)

We need to make a decision about whether we'll issue a 10.0.1 to fix
these regressions.

There's a ticket that would be very nice to have for 10.1:
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4320 (Deferred cancellation
documentation)

The process for updating the website documentation is still poorly
understood, I think. The instructions on ReleaseProcess have gaps and
might also have bugs. Ideally, before the release we should make these
instructions clear and correct. Again, not necessary, since we did
muddle through the last time.

I guess for my own sanity, it would be nice to have as many
"regular-releases" tickets fixed as possible, see
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/milestone/regular-releases. This isn't
necessary though.

I also feel I should say something about deprecated stuff. Not sure what though.
