Without going back through a stack of emails and logs this is what I can
recall of the top of my head as being the release criteria for 0.9.18

Runs with register_globals off
Runs with E_ALL error reporting
Doesn't have obvious security, licensing or other significant issues
Has a maintainer
Maintainer fixes reasonable bugs doing release cycle
Uses the API appropriately
Basically complies with the coding standards

If those modules - or any others meet that criteria (or at least try
very hard to) then they will be included.  Also if the criteria changes,
then the module/s will need to meet the new criteria.

Sorry if this isn't the straight yes or no you seem to be looking for,
but I am not comfortable giving a blanket yes or no answer, unless you
can provide me with a reliable crystal ball first ;)

At the end of the day the community will be involved in helping make the
decision about what is in and out for 0.9.18 - it won't just be me
waking up one morning, creating a tarball and putting a 0.9.18-final
sticker on it because I feel like it.

Cheers
