Are there performance issues if the patch is not applied, or does the patch essentially just remove the worrisome log messages?  From the commit message, it sounds like the latter.

No, I'm being sincere.  In hindsight, I can see how you might have taken my comment the wrong way, so I apologize for not being more clear.  I do think you all have put a lot of fine work into this latest release, despite the issues that may have worked their way into it.  I realize that sometimes making a release is the only way to get code thoroughly tested, so I think what has transpired is is pretty reasonable, in my view.  I do want to express my thanks for the work you and others do to keep Xenomai moving forward.  I don't take it for granted.

Happy new year,
