I wasn't suggesting that we post the patch and leave it for days, I was
thinking more of the 3 people actively working together on the problem
looking at the code before its committed. Describing it as stuff we
agreed seems particularly strange in that light.

On the patch, the kluge to set InRecovery is unnecessary and confusing.
If I submitted that you'd kick my ass all around town.
