Yeah. I can recall that once or twice, Andres went through and triaged
all the open patches, which was tremendously helpful and I'm sure took a
serious investment of time. That way doesn't scale. But maybe if we
split the work among half a dozen or so senior hackers, it'd be a
tolerable amount of work per-person?
