OK.  Ouch. 

We can't undo the past, but for others in the the future it should be
said: we don't normally accept features on this basis.  

For example:
 - Samuel's great DFS-R patches are blocked because he only has a
client, so can't test it (alternate testing strategies will be a
accepted however). 
 - We removed the 'net rpc vampire' code because we don't have a server
(and it broke)
