Proposed order of merging formspec PRs
The idea is to merge the most important PR first (top of list) to not drown in conflicts:
- real_coordinates[] https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/8524
- style[] https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/8383
- scroll_container[] https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/8591
- list spacing https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/7971 (perhaps integrate into style[]?)

Organisation discussion
- When do we have time to release 0.4.17?
- Still unclear freeze and release dates. 1 MTE needs backporting first
