Hang on.  I (the guy signed up to own this part of stable) have reviewed
it each time.  The problem is there's been both general little problems
and Esben has wanted the patch to go in both trees at once, which isn't
how I understand Stable to work.

My plan right now is to fixup the still minor problems in v3 and post
for stable momentarily.
