As you might have noticed, this has generated quite a bit of discussion
on whether this is the right approach or not.  If you can wait for a
week, we plan on talking it over at OLS.  Then I can give you a better
idea as to whether we're going to stick with this or use a different
approach.

Overall your patches are fairly clean, so you've done a good job so
far.  Have a little patience with us as we figure out the right way to
go :).
