Sure. It would be good if someone who *will* be there can champion the discussion.

While Christian is in the best position to discuss this, I did review his various monkeypatch fixes + expat patches so I can attempt to answer any questions people may have.">

While Christian is in the best position to discuss this, I did review his various monkeypatch fixes + expat patches so I can attempt to answer any questions people may have.
