I'm willing to try. I've been toying with just running some of Terrys patches here and see if they're stable, attempting to test the areas they touch, and then just commit them and take the blame (if any). I'm just not quite certain how hard that blame is going to be, and I would dislike loosing my commit privileges :-( I don't think I have time to really understand all of the issues with all of the changes; the best I'd be able to do is understand the overall goals, and see 'this looks good', and test that it works.
