"fulfil" is also correct:

"bufferage" wouldn't be countable and can't be pluralised, so the fix should
be "aren't" -> "isn't" instead.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be sure to revert the "fulfil" change
and correct the pluralization in a new patch.

For those reading the mailing list, sorry for the top post. I'll be
