Yes, doing that tonight so you can have a simple (hopefully) bit of work
to commit tomorrow.

That's waiting for me to do another round of review. I'm getting to
that soon I hope, maybe tomorrow.

I was thinking of just moving both of those into the next CF without
adding any clear resolution code--then they can get worked on as
feasible after the core goes in.

I've done a pretty lame job of pushings thing forward here, but I don't
think things have progressed that badly. The community produced several
large and/or multi-part patches that the CF could have choked on, and
instead they've been broken into digestible chunks and kept chewing
through them. I'm just glad that's happening in this CF, rather than a
pile like this showing up for the last one.

Thanks for the wrap-up summary, I was going to do something like that
myself tonight but you beat me to it.
