Hi william,
I've looked through the lot and where I haven't commented, I had nothing
much to add to David's comments.
I'm not planning to go through the whole thing again unless major changes
occur. Fingers crossed for v13.
If it looks like there are still some unresolved issues after that, perhaps
applying up to patch 8 or so makes sense to reduced the volume of code you
are carrying. Let me know if you'd like me to do that.
Thanks,
Jonathan
