What about lots?  I've been playing around with them a bit and they 
don't really seem ready for use.  They are effectively disabled right 
now because of the bug I mentioned in 
<https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2006-April/017154.html>. 
I didn't put this in bugzilla but if it is something that people think 
should be worked on now I will.  If this bug is fixed lots work better 
but not well enough to be used effectively.

I think that automatic lot scrubbing should be disabled in 2.0.  It 
would be ok to leave the manual scrubbing in for those who want to play 
with it, but the automatic scrubbing causes more trouble than it's 
worth.  If you want I'll put together a patch to do this (and fix some 
other problems with lots).
