Yes, sometimes I do have a week or two lag in applying staging patches,
that is true.

But blame me for that, don't poke Stephen or others about the issue,
it's just me off stuck doing "real work".

If it wasn't for this pesky job I have, I'd be able to get lots of work
done :)

Anyway, I'll try to be more responsive, my appologies.
