Nope ... is a cut mark to indicate I dropped a load of quoted text.

On that note, don't bother replying to say you'll do things suggested
by reviewers - we assume you will unless you say otherwise :)

If you want to add a boilerplate message alongside comments on the
bits that need further discussion, along the lines of 
"All other comments accepted." That's fine but it's not really necessary.

Better to go the other way as Dmitry suggested.  Make everything you can
devm managed.
