Any reason this is still in pu? I'd have expected it to be fairly
uncontroversial and slated for maint.

I was kind of surprised to see this still in pu, too. I thought it was
supposed to cook in next for a while to shake out any interoperability
bugs (and it was in next previously). Did it get ejected after the
release and then never put back?

PS I notice John Keeping has become quite active these days, and has
   stolen my initials. It makes searching for my topics in "What's
   Cooking" much harder (I read it linearly, but I take special notice
   of the "jk" topics).
