I am not done yet with making triage comments for the remaining patches
in the approval queue (yes, I know, I am too slow... ;-( ), I am still
hoping to see the one or other approval request by Egbert Eich (like for
the gb18030 stuff :) and maybe the DragonFly people may come up with a
final patch for their platform, too. So you're not alone with being late
- and it's weekend anyway :)
No objections from my side (it would be nice if you can complete your
approval requests at the end of sunday if possible :)

Bye,
