@nalimilan, is there an update on this? I’ve noticed that all of the `DataTables` commits have been merged with `DataFrames` and that `DataFrames` now uses `Nulls` instead of `DataArrays`. This is definitely a welcome update, I’d like to start migrating my packages from `DataTables` to `DataFrames` in anticipation of whatever the world will look like in 1.0, so I wanted to try to get some idea of how stable current plans are.

Also, @quinnj has overhauled `DataStreams`, and I’d like to get things up and running with the new version, I was wondering if there was any willingness to start porting things over (I can definitely help with this).

Thanks to everyone for their ongoing efforts.
