I don't know how much action D is going to be getting next week due to
Walter's attendance of GoingNative, but IIRC last year Walter was able to
sneak in a commit or two...
This would actually be a good opportunity for the community to have pulls
fixing the Criticals/Blockers/Regressions waiting for Walter when he gets
back from GoingNative. Might make getting a new release that much smoother
and sooner. :-)
