I agree. Part of what I am doing is figuring out precisely what the
essential features are. I think there are at most only 2 more new
"features" coming, and even then I have to followup a little with the
resiprocate guys on precisely what they do and what they're for.

I will collect the remaining patches together and present them at
once (but separately), if I can.

Thanks!
