Me too. But it would be nice if someone summarized the council's 
reasoning and added it to the ticket.

Which reminds me to remind council members that it would be really 
helpful if they could review all outstanding sourceforge tickets and add 
any comments that may occur to them in the next week or so. As I said a 
week or so past, it will very soon be time to start work on the next 
version of P5 if we want a prerelease of it for the MM -- in less than 
two months' time!

Feel free to shout at me or others off list if you've forgotten how to 
use this pesky sourceforge thingie
