Original commit message from CVS:
* docs/random/ds/0.9-suggested-changes: random notes
* gst/elements/gstfakesrc.c: (gst_fakesrc_get_formats),
(gst_fakesrc_get_query_types), (gst_fakesrc_get_event_mask):
Replace GST_PAD_EVENT_MASK_FUNCTION() (et al.) with its
expansion.
* gst/elements/gstfilesink.c: (gst_filesink_get_formats),
(gst_filesink_get_query_types): same
* gst/elements/gstfilesrc.c: (gst_filesrc_get_event_mask),
(gst_filesrc_get_query_types), (gst_filesrc_get_formats): same
* gst/gstcaps.h: deprecate GST_DEBUG_CAPS(), and fix the macro
to use new GST_PTR_FORMAT.
* gst/gstelement.h: deprecate function factory macros
GST_ELEMENT_QUERY_TYPE_FUNCTION(), GST_ELEMENT_EVENT_MASK_FUNCTION().
These are our last variadic macros that can't be replaced with
inlines.  Celebrate!  Also fix a typo in an #ifdef that was
attempting to deprecate gst_element_clock_wait().
* gst/gstevent.h: same
* gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_link_intersect), (gst_pad_link_fixate),
(gst_pad_try_set_caps): replace GST_DEBUG_CAPS() with GST_DEBUG()
* gst/gstpad.h: deprecate function factory macros similar to above.

API:
- replace object/structure set/get macros with actual functions.
- events should all use GstStructure
caps:
(Company:)
"An idea I had once was to force registration of mimetypes and then
only allow caps with a registered mimetype - like it's done now with caps.
You could then add functions to those registrations like
- gchar *get_human_readable_string (caps);
should be kinda selfexplanatory. Would return stuff like "16bit signed
integer audio", "MPEG2 video" or "video format in RGB colorspace" (for
unfixed RGB)
- GstCaps *default_fixate (const GstCaps *caps);
A default fixation function, so we don't fixate to minimum integer
anymore but have the ability to fixate to 320x240 for video or 44100 for
audio rates
- gboolean validate (const GstCaps *caps);
check if the given caps are ok for this mimetype - debugging only function
I'd _really_ like to have - especially during gst_register.
But that's 0.10 material."
bugs with interesting info:

- a method for elements to know when downstream elements are ignoring
the data stream. This would allow automatic shutoff of pipelines
whose processing is being dumped.
