I'm totally aware of that. My two weeks estimate really was with the 
assumption that no new major issues crop up. I totally expect that new 
major issues will crop up. But I'm going to give it a shot. I'm planning 
to review the code anyway, whether it goes into 8.4 or 8.5, so I might 
as well keep going and hope for the best.
