Yeah, that's why I listed it as a major item.  I haven't had a chance to
look at the patch, but if it's not too ugly I would like to get it in
this time rather than next --- that could lead directly to having more
people available next time.

Perhaps, but I'm not sure what we can or should do about it.  Moving
deadlines up will either create a dead zone where we all sit around
twiddling our thumbs, or people will keep on coding till the last minute
anyway.

I think having a few patches that don't make the deadline isn't a bad
thing: it means we didn't have people sitting idle.  It's not like the
work will go to waste --- those things can still get in in the next
devel cycle.
