There are some mailing lists where I would kill to have the turnaround
time only be a week. It was also not clear to me whether you wanted
these patches pushed before or after the privilege upgrade. For what
it's worth, I think it's clear that you care about this DDX. So if the
two admins who have entered the discussion here are still reading, let
this serve as my recommendation.
