Can you begin this in email ... I don't think any of us are clear if
there's still an issue here ... or that we'd say more than send the
patches upstream, like we did last year.  Just reporting on patch
status isn't that useful ... if there were design disputes or issues to
discuss that caused the patches not to be accepted, that would be more
useful.
