This thread appears to have gone quiet. What concerns me is that there 
appears to be substantial disagreement between the author and the 
reviewers. Since the last thing was this new patch it should really have 
been put back into "needs review" (my fault to some extent - I missed 
that). So rather than return the patch with feedfack I'm going to set it 
to "needs review" and move it to the next CF. However, if we can't 
arrive at a consensus about the direction during the next CF it should 
be returned with feedback.
