:>     Committing your fixes can't make it any worse then it already is.

   If we are going to have to wait, then please commit a stopgap -- Warner's
   preloading patch, for example.  There is absolutely no reason to leave the
   tree in a broken state this long.  The tree should NEVER be left in a 
   broken state by a commit when the brokedness is known immediately, as it
   is here.

   Do you really think it is appropriate to commit something to the tree that
   blows developers up (on top of something that is already blowing developers
   up), then spend a week debating how to do it right without either
   (a) backing out the commit or (b) committing a stopgap workaround
   while you debate the issue?

   I sure don't.  If that's your attitude then maybe we should backout ALL
   the work... revert it all the way back to 4.2.  If you don't commit
   *something* by sunday evening, I AM going to commit a stopgap.
