well, Al, send me your comments. Although as Greg pointed out a merge into
the base is not at the top of our list right now, as we still have much
work to do.

If, however, you think we can beat it into mergeable shape with some help
from you, then I'm willing to look at it. If the goal here is just to let
you feel better by making gratuitous nasty jabs at people who are just
trying to contribute something to the community, then I'm less interested.  
It's your call.

Let's keep it simple. You send me the comments. We'll apply the ones that 
make sense. I'm not quite sure of the value of echoing the level of 
comments you just made to any list I can think of.
