Agreed, but there will be some time before that is possible. I'm happy
to commit to Sept 15 *latest* to do the above. I know what has to be
done and that's my timescale for doing it.

Thanks, good plan.

There is absolutely no danger this patch is going to be delayed and
there is really no call for haste. I near killed myself trying to get it
into 8.4 and I would like to avoid a tension-fest this time around. We
have time and intend to take it at a reasonable pace, and spend time
thinking first, then talking later. Over and out, for now.
