What's left on their roadmap criteria?

As far as I know, there aren't any missing levels, all of the MIDI musical slots are filled in, and all of the copyrighted assets have been completely replaced.

 

I've heard talks of overhauling the Deathmatch WAD (FreeDM) because at least half of the maps kind of suck, but other than that, it seems like there's nothing left but maybe a few asset improvements.

 

This looks good for example:

Yup, it seems freedoom is ready for release. There are a few things that could be improved, but right now it is a matter of "don't let perfect be the enemy of good"

For example, they recently replaced the double barreled shotgun again, despite the one they had being pretty much perfect. I feel the project is running on "new for the sake of new" right now.
