Also seen it mentioned a couple of times that RAAT compatibility with the Pro CI's won't happen until the end of this year, so taking that the highest priority may be the first to be released then the timelines for the new app & configurator won't happen until 2019.
Now it's also possible that the 1st priority (RAAT) will take the longest to complete and hence has the most resources dedicated to it. The fact it also concerns a 3rd Party (Roon) then this may also be the reason for the extended release timing. Hence 2nd & 3rd priorities may be further down the list, but conceivably being only in-house programming/approvals required these will actually be released first.
Hopefully I'm wrong with the timelines in my 2nd paragraph, and actually my 3rd paragraph is correct
As you mention, some of the priorities will be dependant on third-party input. There will be issues of testing, bug fixing, certification, and all the rest of it. So I would not read too much into priority #1, priority #2, and so on. Undoubtedly, some things will require more man-hours than others, some projects will hit unexpected problems, other projects might go well, who knows. We have no idea regarding what is going on behind the scenes, so it is a case of wait and see, but meanwhile enjoy what you have.
One thing I can say is that Devialet had a working demo at OAC of Qobuz streaming via CI, so progress is being made.
