Absolutely. It would be great if we can finally get them

either need to get rid of it if nothing is left to do,
or provide a comprehensive list of what is to be done
like we do in the other cases, so we have a better feel
of the scope and magnitude of the task.

Yes, I think so. From past experience, once you
get past the first few days of understanding what
is going on, you can fix/implement a lot of these
little features.
