* When should the default branch of MXE Octave be merged to the release branch?
* When should the release branch of MXE Octave be merged to the default branch?
** Around the same time as the merge of the default branch of Octave to its stable branch.
* Which branches should the buildbots use in the pre-release phase? Different for jwe's buildbots and octave.space?
* Which branches should the buildbots use in the pre-release phase? Different for jwe's buildbots and octave.space?
** Keep them running like they are. Evaluate if buildbot failures need action in the transition period before the major release.

** Ensure thread safeness of Array classes (especially GUI-interpreter communication)
** Maybe based on <code>std:shared_ptr</code>? But they aren't guaranteed to be thread-safe by design either.
* Other performance improvments:
** Eliminate <code>mutable</code> class data.
