Absolutely on-target, Vladimir!  The current state of our world is
embarrassing.  Someday when the bosses aren't listening, I'll explain to you
how it got this way <0.9 wink>.

Trent, you are *not* a bottleneck!  You've cooperated with the process (or
lack thereof) every step of the way, and it hasn't even been 12 hours since
I accepted some of your patches.  And the bulk of them are still on my plate
to review.

I don't think we have an actual bottleneck now, but we do have a large
backlog to work off, and people with too many things that need to be done.
