G'Day,

The patch has now been reviewed by two other team members (more review
still welcome).  I know of only one person (Volker) who has expressed
opposition to the idea, requesting that we ensure his concerns are
addressed before we move on.  With the patches I have provided, I
honestly believe I have addressed his concerns, with code changes
specifically directed at "the two most annoying ones" and improving the
handling of the third.

Sadly Volker seems unwilling to communicate on the matter, which is
frustrating, as for a time we seemed to have a clear set of technical
issues and I was very much looking forward to confirming that they were
addressed.

I can only take it that Volker hopes his silence will assist in delaying
this work, which is highly frustrating.  Michael Adam went to great
pains to detail the issue, only to be told: "tl;dr. Just do what you
think needs doing."

On that basis, having no actual objections I feel I have met the review
requirements, and that while we all know Volker isn't happy, that the
next step is clearly to merge this patch.

I however do not wish to get ahead of the rest of the team here, and so
would like confirmation from others on the Team before I move forward. 

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
