File is still actively being developed to the point patches are
clashing. I'm not going to try to factor out common stuff while it's in

fact (for example commits cf0f037ac861 and 5493916370c7).

Yay, I think I already have that bookmarked after it was mentioned on
the list? Or is this another thing?

Not a communication channel I really use, but since it's public and it
emails me I might as well cc: my reply to the list...
