It looks pretty good so far, much nicer than the previous versions.
I have a small nit on the last patch, which should be dead easy to
address. I'm currently running a bunch of tests, hopefully nothing bad
will come out of it.
If you respin it shortly, that nothing fails, and unless someone
shouts, I'll queue it for -next.
Thanks,
M.
