I do. We're half way through this commitfest, so if no one's actually
ready to commit one of the patches, I kinda have to bounce them both,
at least to the next CF.

The very likely outcome of that, given that it's a pretty enormous
feature that involves even more enormous amounts of testing on various
hardware, networks, etc., is that we don't get SR in 9.1, and you
among others will be very unhappy.

So yes, it is stalled, and yes, there's a real urgency to actually
getting a baseline something in there in the next couple of weeks.

Cheers,
David.
