Hey, join the club.

The bigger question is about the direction tho.  The patchset
definitely still has enough holes but do you in general agree with
where it's headed?  If so, maybe it would be a good idea to set up an
incremental devel branch somewhere?  We definitely need more review
rounds but given the fragility of the whole thing I think it would be
wiser to keep the spotted problems and fixes in changelog after the
general direction is agreed on.

Thanks.
