Actually, it was more that I didn't want to try to merge something that was=
=20
still very much work in progress. You didn't seem to be doing any developme=
nt=20
on what was merged, so I didn't foresee any problems with just replacing it=
=20
once suspend(1|2|2.1|2.2) became mature. Patrick changed that, and then you=
=20
did too. And I learnt about the "merge early, merge often" mantra late in t=
he=20
game. If I knew then what I know now... but I didn't.

Regards,

Nigel
