When can we expect this to happen, and how big and ugly will it be? I'm not seeing many (any) reviewed-by's on these patches. I could get down and stare at them myself, but that wouldn't be very useful. This work goes pretty deep and is quite security-affecting. And network-afecting. Can you round up some suitable people and get the reviewing and testing happening please?
