yup.

Thing is, since 10AM this morning I've looked at no mailing list
traffic, reviewed no patches, merged no patches.  I've spent half the
day getting all the trees merged (and I last did it 24 hours ago) and
the other half weeding out compilation errors.  I have this starry-eyed
theory that I shouldn't need to do any of this.

The stephen/me function is a single point of failure and right now,
it has failed.  I have to push back.
