Ouch. I top-posted - oops! Please reply on this email rather than the previous.
Hey Florian,
Thank you for the time and effort that you put into this patch series. I was excited to see this, when I first saw it posted a few weeks ago. I have every intention of giving it a review, but just haven't found the time yet. I'm sure that Mauro would say the same.
I'm sure that he and I both will find some time, hopefully over the next few weeks or sooner, to give this a thorough review and provide some feedback.
Hopefully we can put this on its way for merge soon. Please bear with us..
Thanks again for your contribution.
