I feel like I've been out of sync with APC HEAD lately (in regards to  
what I'm actively using), I've been trying to get back into sync with  
this lately and getting a stable release would be great.  It would be  
also nice to start getting the pecl bug emails again, I worry that  
there's bugs I could look at but am not getting notices, but I'm not  
sure who to work with to get that going again.
