Definitely; I think they're probably right but haven't had time to go
through them myself.  This release was to get out some new stuff that
Upstart depended on, at the same time I went through bugzilla and took
some easy pickings, along with the dbus-send race.

Just chatted with Thiago who did a review on fd passing, we'll get it in soon.
