Scap config management: Jinja2 fills templates with Pythonic values (all users, ugly workaround, incorrect functionality)
In progress Scap3 submodule space issues (all users, no workaround, enhancement)
In progress scap deploy-local should make fewer assumptions (debt)
- Puppet changes still need to be built before release
- merge plan? Should exist
Done (scap part) Scap SWAT automate patch merging & testing during a swat deployment (new functionality)
- sub sub-commands
- mw-config part, does not block scap release

Scap3 config references to deployed directory (all users, no workaround, incorrect/non-obvious functionality)
- 2 parts: modifications to deployed directory and what directory that refers to
- TODO documentation for scap plugins
  - Define your own deploy workflow via plugins in extreme cases (but you're on your own)
In progressAnnounce all deploys via IRC (new functionality)
- Chad: cli.Application.announce() does exactly what we want already. I just need to refactor the calls to it
- Announce for beginning and end of deployment
Automate beta scap3/keyholder setup (debt)
- Easy, but dumb to do manually
- Tricky to automate
Make symlink swaps optional (new functionality/experimental)
- Low prioritiy
Oh how I've pined for a version flag (new functionality)
- Low priority
