Identifying all these issues (as in, what needs to be done to put HEAD
into a state that could replace 0.6.7) is what I've understood your
action item to be so we can see how to resolve these issues, publish a
beta version to identify and fix remaining issues and then release a
stable 0.7.0.

Are these known bugs documented somewhere?

I'll try to propose something for the next meeting.

Not really, I rather focus on working on code outside of `check` in
terms of separate Perl modules so that the code has an associated
test suite and does not need to me modularized later.
