I assume there isn't a convenient git tree I can pull for the purposes of testing Jan's patch series and for the purposes of seeing how everything fits together? In other words, as far as I understand things there currently isn't an unstable topic branch I can pull for the purposes of review and testing, but hopefully Dave will make a stable topic branch in a few days. Is that right? - Ted
