No,while it is true that I've been traveling, I've also been actively
merging, and no, that pull request isn't lost.

I don't really like the look of it though (particularly all the magic
new keys changes), so I've been delaying it and merging other regular
stuff that I don't have any issues with. I'm leaving that pull for
later in order to go over it more carefully when I'm not doing fifteen
other pulls the same day..

If somebody wants to explain about the rationale new keys code, that might help.
