I think it would be simple enough to tag certain items on the list as low
hanging fruit that there is no reason not to do it.

On a side note, I think that also moving a few items in to a "urgent" section
like we had for 8.0 would be a really good idea for the start of each
development cycle. Tom mentioned that an item being included on the TODO list
doesn't mean all of core has bought in to it, so let's see a few items that
all of core has bought in to and agrees we might be close to. (Hierarchical
queries and updateable views, both of which are items with outstanding
patches/work and general core approval, come to mind.)
While we can't garauntee these things will be included in any release, a
section of 4-5 items that core/hackers agreed that should be in the next
release would probably help steer people to tackling those problems.
