Will do eventually. In the same way that Andrew merges fixes to patches into the patches before sending to Linus. But in this case, rather large pieces would vanish in such a process, plus it would be unfair to expect Andrew to do that work; so it would be better for you to submit replacements when we're ready.

I guess that depends on whether it's actually receiving any testing or review while it's in there. I'm happy for it to remain there for now - and the core of it is going to remain unchanged or only trivially changed. Really a matter for you to decide with Andrew: I don't want to pull it out of circulation myself.

I don't see that having a version there in mmotm will slow us down (what could slow me down more than myself ;-?). But you and Andrew are free to decide it's counterproductive to keep the current version there, that's okay by me if you prefer to pull it.
