Formal reviews have two stages. The first stage is just a 
courtesy to allow last minute feedback before I ship the DIP to 
Walter & Andrei. After I send it to them, I await their decision 
and then I report it here.

In this case, only the first stage was completed. It's in their 
hands and as soon as I receive a decision I'll report it here.

I would say that's the thing to do, but it's probably best to 
wait until we get a decision on 1006.
