With the merges today (thank you Luis for those!), I no longer have any 
item for the GDB 13 release.

I would say that it would be nice to have the sN <--> dM pseudo register 
sync fixed, but I fear that it's a bigger topic and that the time left 
until the release is not enough to get it into a mergeable state.

Kind regards,
Torbjörn
