Perhaps worth mentioning the units rewrite:
A somewhat smaller change, the units rewrite, would become a bit easier once cairo lands (although it could happen first) because we'll have fewer graphics backends. Core changes for a number of user-visible improvements related to zooming and font sizes when printing depend on the units rewrite; it would be good to do these later in the 1.9 cycle.
