Sounds dandy to me.

That is a good move. Linus tends to do the same.

I agree. The date was more important than the list and we almost made

Right. And as always - I *will* get SM1.1 out in july - even though that
still means earliest second half july. I have been totally locked up
with our wedding party, people staying with us since then and tomorrow
morning I am going up north for some fishing and mosquito bites a week.
When I get back I can put some heavy duty hacking onto it and finally
get it done.
