You jumped the queue in front of the other cars.  I'm asking you not to do
that, even if one of the drivers was kind enough to let you in.

Lets see where Chandra is at with his quota work.  If he has already rebased on
top of your series I don't see a good reason to rearrange things now.  If he
hasn't, I'd like focus on getting his code merged before pulling in your
rearrangement.  Now that you've rebased Jeff's work, I don't see much point in
redoing that, so maybe that will have to wait for the rearrangement to get
merged.

For now we'll focus on the first 13 patches.

Thanks,
Ben
