Do we know it's not release-worthy now? From what I see Heikki is proposing
refactorings which improve the code but hasn't found anything actually broken.
I'm all for cleaner simpler code -- especially in critical backup processes
since simpler means safer -- but just because there are better ways to do
things doesn't mean the current code isn't acceptable.
