+Now that we've finished the 0.33 release, we're working on 0.34, and
 although we're not certain which new features will be included, we're
 considering:
 
+  - Migrating hashsplitting to C.
+
+  - Automatically splitting trees to avoid having to save large tree
+    objects for large directories even if only a few files have
+    changed or been added (e.g. maildirs).
+
+  - Moving all of the compoents of the index to sqlite.  Right now the
+    main index is an mmapped file, and the hard link and metadata
+    databases are pickled.  As a result the index isn't transactional
+    and suffers from bugs caused by "skew" across the components.
+
   - Better VFS performance for large repositories (i.e. fuse, ls,
     web...).
