1) I whined for reviews for long enough. Where were you?
2) With the SMP "Destabilization" of the tree coming, I took the
opportunity because
a) Merging differences was going to get harder; and
b) folk were already warned off the use off CURRENT for
production purposes.
3) I fully recognise that this needs to be worked on; now that
I have gotten rid of a lot of mess, I can give it my attention;
the time is not "indeterminate", it is "work in progress" (Ya, Ya,
semantics).
