Welcome to the small club, Tom. For the first 2 & 1/2 years, the only
person who could tackle those big jobs was Vadim. Now you are in the
club too.

The problem is that there are no more. I can't imagine anyone is going
to be able to jump out of the woodwork and take on a job like that. We
will just have to do the best job we can, and maybe save something for
7.1.
