Hi Arnd and All,

I'm sorry there hasn't been an updated in a long time and we're missing
v6.5. I've been quite busy with other work and life. Speaking of, I
will be mostly out for around a month starting some time mid to end
July as, if all goes well, I'm expecting to become a dad. That said, I
haven't forgotten about this and your overall plan of sending per-
subsystem patches sounds good, just haven't had the time to also
incorporate the feedback.

Thanks,
Niklas
