I realised after sending this that the " - and you? - " was ambiguous. I 
wasn't meaning to suggest that you might pull in a different direction, 
but rather uncertainty as to whether you might help with the effort - 
it's been a while (AFAIR) since you've done any hibernaton patches.

Humble apologies for the ambiguity!
