Thanks Dewayne,

Dogfooding is why 2.3 wasn't committed. Larry didn't have problems with the  
upgrade, but I ran into a number of them on my own server, including some  
showstoppers (especially one that caused all incoming attachments to get  
mangled).

I have every intention of committing 2.3.1 once it gets released, though if  
it happens right at the end of the month, I may wait a few days for 2018Q2  
to get branched beforehand---I'd like for the kinks to be worked out in  
head before it hits quarterly.
