Oh, right.  I forgot about that.

Yeah, I think that makes the most sense.

Ya.  I'll apply 1-4 and create a stable tag for patch 1's commit for 7.2.  If
it won't throw a wrench in things for you, I'll wait until 7.1-rc2 to get 'em
applied.  I've been burned more than a few times when using rc1 as the base for
topic branches.

Dave, holler if this doesn't work for you.
