The 4.2 roadmap is empty!
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=DeveloperWiki:Pacman_Roadmap

I thought it would be good to discuss what people are planning.  So far
things I know are being or will be worked on:

- Remove of support for PKGBUILDs with only a build() function
- Removal of directory symlink support


Other things that have starts of patchsets available:

- Parallel operations  (I think I will take this...)
- Optdepends handling


Things the world would love to see but need substantial planning:

- Hooks


Any other ideas that people are working on or plan to?
