I would like to say when you sent this, there was patches on the
mailing lists with Kirill cc'ed, a pull request outstanding to me on
the mailing list from Ben, with the patches reviewed in it.

Maybe you weren't cc'ed on it, but stuff has certainly happened, in
the timeframe, and I was keeping track of it from falling down a hole.

_nothing_ is a lot more a reflection on your research than the ongoing
process, there was some delays here and maybe we need to communicate
when we are flat out dealing with other more urgent tasks that pay the
actual wages.

Dave.
