If everybody's going to decide now to hit on _me_, I'll point out that
davem's MQ TX changes broke it, I only heard about the problem once that
was out because nobody had found it earlier, and I was also travelling
at OLS.

Maybe the lesson we could learn from this is to not release an rc1 while
a bunch of important people are at various conferences.
