issues prior to 5.x--1 or 4.7.x--1 release

Prior to a 5.x release I'd like to finish off these issues:

Remove listing page functionality
Remove Index Aliases
Remove or Make optional the Transliteration
New algorithm and/or exposed control for transliteration

And of course this bug:

taxonomy_get_term and illegal_offset errors when adding taxonomy/nodes

It would be great to get some comments from folks on some of these issues because I haven't really decided on whether to do them or not. I'll also post back here when I've got a more firm "beta" for 5.0 and 4.7 for people to test and will then do a tag release.

For 4.7 there are just a handful of random "this doesn't quite work" kinds of problems that I haven't really honed in on. Seeing as how 1) most Drupal users tend to move to the new release shortly after it happens and 2)pathauto for 4.7 isn't killing any babies I'm focusing on the 5.x release as being an even more solid one than the 4.7.
