Cool. Thanks for getting this done!

I think we need you and Tom and other senior community members to
weigh in a little more overtly on which of the remaining open items
should get fixed prior to 9.0beta. The biggest thing that is holding
us up right now seems to be that we don't really know what we're
waiting for. If we start talking about it, we might collectively make
the wrong decision; but that's surely better than making no decision
and letting things drag out.
