Yeah, totally.  I've been pretty flat-out with xkbcommon and Wayland
stuff lately but am hoping to get back to this as soon as it's gone.
Also, the weekends have been inexplicably sunny lately which means I'm
not sitting inside with my laptop.

Unfortunately the unexport series wasn't half as much of a win as I'd
hoped; I think there were only about four or so functions I got to
remove as totally unused at the end of it.  But it's still definitely
worthwhile.

Cheers,
Daniel
