### Goal

There are currently 78 tickets in the [enhancements and features report](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=!closed&type=!defect+(bug)&type=!task+(blessed)&milestone=4.6&group=component&order=priority).
By the end of the week all of them should get reviewed and at least 48 should be
closed (fixed, wontfixwontfix A resolution on the bug tracker (and generally common
in software development) that indicates the ticket will not be addressed further.
This may be used for acceptable edge cases (for bugs), or enhancements that have
been rejected for core inclusion., duplicate…) or punted. That leaves 30 tickets
for the next 3 weeks on which can be **actively** worked on.
