I will vote for the QNX-only version.  However, I will not apply any
patch unless there is agreement from the group.

It is up the group to decide the issue.

However,even though I will vote for the QNX-only version, I am doing
this only because you feel so strongly something should be in 7.2.  My
personal opinion is that this entire patch should wait for 7.3.  It is
very late in 7.2 development and even a reviewed patch of this
complexity causes more risk than benefit.
