It was made clear that we were concentrating on the release and these
were something we'd come back to afterwards. I also made it very clear
that I'm opposed to something that is repeatedly getting proposed here.
Lets just say it is unlikely I will simply change my mind if people keep
sending it.

I'm trying to get to the point of reviewing the patches that need
attention and give more constructive feedback having cleared the less
problematic ones out the way and shortened the backlog but I'm not there
yet. Ideally I'd like to take a break entirely but sadly that simply
isn't going to happen :(. I'll try and get to these as soon as I can but
there is a substantial queue. 

I'd also point out I'm getting considerable "feedback" as soon as
anything goes into master that destabilises the build so when anything
does merge, fixing fallout is taking priority too.

Cheers,

Richard
