I think "stomped" is a little harsh.  Bruce has been slowly improving
prototypes and such throughout the system, and it's in the nature of
such work to occasionally be underfoot.  I doubt whether Steven even
knew that Bruce was still in there.

Well, there's no code freeze on 2.2 that I'm aware of - work should be
allowed to go forward in 2.2-current.  I think David's objections are
more to all the commits with the little "please put this in 2.1"
postit notes attached.  AFAIK, Steven has no intention of trying to
get this into 2.1.

> Still, hopefully we end up with a more complete ibcs2 as a result.. :-)  

Yes, that's my attitude.  Motion in -current is good, even if it
sometimes takes awhile to get it going in exactly the right
direction(s). Let's see what positive progress we can make out of
Steven's commit now - I'm eager to see which binaries we can run now!
:)
