Rafael (et al.)

I never heard back on this point of how you prefer your workflow to
proceed - that is, if I haven't heard anything in a couple weeks -
should I try to re-bump the thread?

Since this was sent around the time of the merge window, I realize
there were other things to occupy people's time.
Now that rc2 is out - I'm hoping that the dust has settled a bit, such
that there may be a cycle, or two to review this series.

Thanks for your time
