So I feel obliged to throw in some defending of Xin here, mostly because 
in some of these cases I'm the perkeleen vittupää[1] and not Xin.

The other thing is that this patchset is from April and predates the 
recent FRED changes (which were unanticipated at the time); I explicitly 
asked Xin to hold off making updates until the spec had restabilized.
