I did get several positive comments on the subject and
have been encouraged to make a more organized stab
at future events (next year's USENix, maybe this years
UNIForum).
Somebody at this one (more up-to-date and informed than
I) mentioned a 3.11pre5. Where is this?
You probably mean me - I referred to the prerelease of a couple
of files to be included in 3.11pre5 that bundled my fix for rc.request
and something else. SvdB released this a couple of months ago
but I don't of any 3.11pre5 release ever followed. There are a
couple more patches that someone has captured and made available
but I don't think SvdB has blessed them yet.
