Hi, Jay. It's been a while!


No, it's not the way it is supposed to work, but in the real world, it
often is the way it does. And, since this is a volunteer operation, around
the time of Saturnalia,  when so many are away or busy with families
celebrating Christmas and the new year, it can get pretty slow trying to
get a bit of time from a committer.

In this case it took a month after the maintainer approved the fix before a
committer picked it up. Now that the committer has it, it will likely
actually get committed as soon as tjil gets back to work. (He picked it up
on Friday.)
