Indeed, but I had been putting even doing that off. I've had some
sporadic time off in the last few months (as you know) and so usually by
the time that I'm back enough other stuff has accumulated that I don't
feel like adding more to the list by encouraging further review.

So the topic (and my participation on the list in general) has kind of
languished, but I'm hoping that since things have mostly cooled down for
me outside of work that I'll be able to participate and submit patches
more consistently.

Thanks,
