 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with
 '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
 '+' are in 'next'.

-have a few interesting topics that are being discussed but it is
-unlikely I'll be picking them up in 'pu'.  As we already have merged

-cause unforseen regressions, let's not merge topics that are not
-regression fixes from 'next' to 'master', either, until the final
-release.
