Thanks, noted.  I'm not paid for work on the DRM subsystem, so I have to
do this during breaks at $DAYJOB where I have no access to IRC, but I will
ask via e-mail in the future before going out on a limb.

Not being able to dedicate my full attention to this all the time is also
the reason why it's hard for me to get the timing perfect:  I had already
submitted a fix before you sent out your -rc2 pull and I would have hated
missing another rc cycle, yet wasn't sure when exactly you were going to
send out your -rc3 pull this week and whether I would be able to carve out
enough time to push the patch before that date without hurriedly making
major mistakes.

Kind regards,

Lukas
