We're now over a month since this status update- Claudio, for this to
have a chance during this commitfest to be included (which, personally,
I think would be great as it solves a pretty serious issue..), we really
need to have it be rebased and updated.  Once that's done, as Michael
says, please change the patch status back to 'Needs Review'.

Thanks!

Stephen
