Yeah, speaking of that, I had some patches to implement the asynchronous IC=
MP
pings with Events and APCs, but they fell off the list. I should probably
resend them, thanks for the reminder.

Do you plan to work on fixing this? It shouldn't conflict with my async pat=
ches
much anyway, worst case a simple rebase would be sufficient. I could probab=
ly
take a look if you can't, but you seem to know a lot more about it than I d=
o,
so am just asking to not duplicate the effort.
