As we haven't seen any interest or reviews to this series over its
two iterations, I took a look myself and it looked mostly OK to me.

So, I'll mark the topic for 'next' unless somebody objects (I really

has been his area all along), but given that we'd be in pre-release
freeze for one more week, there is no need to rush.

Thanks.
