I don't know what you're on about with that statement. I've spent a
good chunk of time looking at the 0003 patch, even though it's large and
contains a lot of different things. I suggested splitting things up. I
even suggested what to move earlier after Craig agreed with that
sentiment, in the mail you're replying to, because it seems
independently doable.

I find that fairly unconvincing. What we have here is a patch that isn't
close to being ready, contains a lot of complicated pieces, a couple
days before freeze. If we can pull useful pieces out: great. But it's
too later for major new development.
