This is a good reason why rushing stuff along when there's two people
working in the same area is bad news.  The person who gets to do the
conflict resolution doesn't always know what the correct solution is,
so many of them are pure guesses, and many of them won't be adequately
tested.

Quite honestly, I would have preferred *not* to have pulled Ben's BE
changes along with Santosh's other changes, and have Ben rebase for
the _following_ merge window to prevent exactly this kind of mess.

The BE stuff has been one problem after another...
