Thanks Christian!
Guys, I broke my right arm on last Thursday (2nd may). You may
have noticed that I was not as responsive as I'm supposed to be.
Unfortunately this less than responsiveness is about to persist for a
couple more weeks. Fortunate the guys from IBM, and chiefly Michael
Mueller is going to help me drive this -- thanks Michael! Due to this,
I would generally prefer doing as few changes to this series as
necessary, and deferring as many of the beautifying to patches on top
(possibly authored by somebody else) as possible.
Regards,
Halil
