Hmm - I would say a bit of review rather than a lot :-)

The feeling I received from the various comments was a lukewarm level of 
interest at best, so I must confess that I let other things take 
precedence. Also I was after some clear feedback about whether a 
separate stats utility was necessary at all given we have Dtrace support 
- despite this not being available for Linux... and the only comment 
dealing to this concern is from Gokul just now!

I'd also like to take the opportunity to express a little frustration 
about the commitfest business - really all I wanted was the patch 
*reviewed* as WIP - it seemed that in order to do that I needed to enter 
it into the various commitfests... then I was faced with comments to the 
effect that it was not ready for commit so should not have been entered 
into a commifest at all... sigh, a bit of an enthusiasm killer I'm afraid...
