Joachim has been making good progress here, but given the current code 
maturity vs. implementation complexity of this work my guess is that 
even if we got an updated version today it's not going to hit commit 
quality given the time left.  I'm going to mark this one "returned with 
feedback", and I do hope that work continues on this patch so it's early 
in the queue for the final CommitFest for this version.  It seems like 
it just needs a bit more time to let the design mature and get the kinks 
worked out and it could turn into a useful feature--I know I've wanted 
NOTIFY with a payload for a years.
