Looks like no one has responded yet. I like the direction of your
patches (but haven't taken an in-depth look yet) but we are in the
middle of a code freeze, so I think mpm will want you to refrain from
feature patches and focus on bug fixes / regressions / etc.

Since we just had the sprint last week, I can see how things are a bit
confusing with timelines. Anyway,
