Great! That's really great news, Carl. Thank you very much. I think at this point the only thing we need for 0.6 are: * Austin's atomicity patches * maybe fix the frc822 handling issue Can we set a target date for 0.6 release? So we'll all start feeling really bad if we miss it? > I'm actually a bit surprised to see myself preferring patches in > email.

Yeah, I'm with you that I'm surprised by liking this method as well. I think it only really works once most of the bulk of things are already working, but for bug fixes and feature additions it really works well. It's nice to have comments for patches on list. jamie.
