Makes sense. We'll bug you on IRC if we have any direct questions. 
Thanks for all the feedback to Andrey and steering some of the core work 
in a good direction, like the private atomic struct. I'm working on 
picking that one up next.

A lot of these changes are very much incremental. A lot of work here and 
we don't want to break things along the way.

Thanks,
Harry
