I don't really care where it goes as long as we get in the current version into a stable not to be rebased branch somehwere so that all consumers can use that as a base point. Nic, can you do that? A lot of previous work went in through Andrew, but I think -mm is still a quilt stack so the stable base branch wouldn't be possible that way.
