+  Title:       REMOVE TASK_DELETE
+  Description: Need to remove or fix task delete.  This interface is non-
+               standard and not safe.  Arbitrary deleting tasks can cause
+               serious problems such as memory leaks.  Better to remove it
+               than to retain it as a latent bug.
+
+               Currently used within the OS and also part of the
+               implementation of pthread_cancel() and task_restart() (which
+               should also go for the same reasons).  It is used in
+               NxWM::CNxConsole to terminate console tasks and also in
+               apps/netutils/thttpd to kill CGI tasks that timeout.

+  Title:       ANTI-ALIASING
+  Description: Needed for proper rendering.  After some analysis, I believe
+               this change would only be required in the the trapezoid
+               rendering logic.  Essentially, it would need to blend the
+               fractional pixels at ends of each run with the underlying
+               pixel.
+
+               Hmmm.. graphics are sometimes erased by just redrawing them
+               with the background color.  Would this approach leave ghost
+               images around where the erase image was?
+  Status:      Open
+  Priority:    Medium-ish.  This would definitely improve graphics rendering

+
+  Title:       LINE JOINS
+  Description: Lines are currently draw as rectangles with the width of the
+               rectangle being the line width.  So when shapes, like circles,
+               are drawn with fat lines, they do not join cleanly from
+               segment to segment.
+
+               The fix would be to draw a circle at each endpoint that has a
+               radius equal to the width of the line.
+  Status:      Open
+  Priority:    Medium-ish.  This would definitely improve line drawing.

+  Title:       IMPROVED TASK START-UP AND SYSCALL RETURN
+  Description: Couldn't up_start_task and up_start_pthread syscalls be
+               eliminated.  Wouldn't this work to get us from kernel-
+               to user-mode with a system trap:
+
+                 lda r13, #address
+                 str rn, [r13]
+                 msr spsr_SVC, rm
+                 ld r13,{r15}^
+
+               Would also need to set r13_USER and r14_USER. For new SYS_context_switch... couldn't we do he same thing?
+
+               Also... System calls use traps to get from user- to kernel-
+               mode to perform OS services.  That is necessary to get from
+               user- to kernel-mode.  But then another trap is used to get
+               from kernel- back to user-mode.  It seems like this second
+               trap should be unnecessary.  We should be able to do the
+               same kind of logic to do this.
+  Status:      Open
+  Priority:    Low-ish, but a good opportunity for performance improvement.

+  Title:       DHCPD ACCESSES KERNEL PRIVATE INTERFACE
+  Description: arp_update() is referenced outside of nuttx/net.  It is used in

+               That is violation of the separation of kernel and OS
+               functionality.  As a consequence, dhcpd will not work with the
+               NuttX kernel built.
+
+               This direct OS call needs to be replaced with a network ioctl()
