Then why did I create a topic branch for you to base on?

Well, this is certainly up to Arnd, Olof and Kevin, but it seems a bit
unusual.  You're basically asking to merge changes into the current window
that has had _no_ time in -next...  Sounds like a recipe for trouble to
me.

In the future, please let me know if you're not going to need a topic
branch.

thx,

Jason.
