This is a pretty sophisticated series.  I was hoping to get more test 
reports on it and reviews (as Clément requested as well). In the meantime 
I've pulled them into for-next in the hopes that it might increase the 
number of potential testers.  Am still very much interested in any test 
reports or additional reviews; if they come in this week, I'll consider 
rebuilding for-next to add them.
