That's not going to be much use - by that time we'll be at -rc4 or so,
which means that reverting the rather large changes becomes much more
of an eye-brow raising request than it would do at -rc1 time.  We're
already at the theoretical dawn of -rc2, one week after -rc1.

So, I think the only thing I can do is push the fixes upstream myself
and hope that Samuel doesn't have an issue with it (he shouldn't have,
as I'm marked in the code as the author of it, and I still have working
hardware to test this stuff on... so in theory I should know what I'm
doing with it!)
