Yes.

Yes.  I'm working on it; however, it has taken more time than planned (my
testbox setup got eaten by an as-of-yet unidentified bug in disklabel, and
there are more locking problems than I'd anticipated) and has thus run into
one of my known really-really-really busy periods.  I'll be overloaded until
mid-to-late february, but hope to be able to find _some_ time to work on it
before that.
