Hmmm, well, if you are still paying attention you'll know that neither
of those issues are bugs in the code that was committed. One of them has
been fixed and the deadlock problem has a workaround applied.
That workaround, err... works, but I accept its not ideal. But then a
few things are not ideal and it does seem unlikely that every one of
them will have a perfect fix in the next two months.
I'll change the TODO page.
