I've also seen two other patches floating around here in this thread (one by Andrea, one by Minchan), but didn't apply them as it wasn't entirely clear what the status of those patches were. My current plan is to do -rc1 tonight, and hopefully with the two reverts it will be reasonably stable. We obviously will have several weeks for polishing.
