The fact remains nobody has collected up the patches and presented
Saul/I with a pull request collecting up these pieces. I've not even
seen the patch addressing the regression posted, people just seem to
agree one exists.

So various people has tested varying combinations of patches with
varying success. This isn't the kind of patchset I like to take at -rc3
time. If it breaks the build in any way on any of the four architectures
the release gets delayed by at least a couple of weeks. I don't think
people realise how long proper QA cycles take :( I really do want to
take it but people aren't helping make this easy for me and it does
carry significant risk which I don't think people realise.

Cheers,
