I think Stephen had done enough.  At the time, I wasn't sure which
tree it was going to go through and it took some time before Thomas
responded, so I was intending to push it through separately.  I should
have retracted the tree right after it was determined to be
reimplemented but forgot.  That's my mistake not Stephen's.  Sorry
about that.

Thanks.
