Not neccessarly. Plugins deemed not stable will not be part of the release 
tarball

when all features which are planned for 0.8 are implemented.

not really. Master is pretty much 0.8-to-be until release. Then is will be 
branched off. bug fixes will go into 0.8.x and master will become 0.9

This concept does not really apply yet. Since only Karsten implements features 
right now he defines his set of features. So yes and no. When more coders will 
be active the concept will change.

Karsten will have to comment on what amount of coding is involved.
