That is how it comes across ;) - our dream is all about upstream-first
but as you know this becomes a mess really quickly when things are
blocked on dependencies and you're working on 5 different features and
testing across ±8 different Sony platforms on ±14 different devices at
once... all in a limited portion of free time.

Fwiw cleaning-up would have had to happen either way, and would have
taken the same amount of time regardless of whether this series is
submitted now or two months ago.

You're welcome!
(Though I thought it should be visible in Thunderburd, unless you're not
 in plaintext mode?  Does it still show the "this is quoted" line in
 front of the broken sentence?)
