Do take into account the propagation delay of news to some sites, please. (It's possible that Thor is ignoring you, but I doubt it.) Anyway, I searched through port-i386 for stuff from Jim Rees, and looked at his hacks page, and submitted PRs (one for the sync change he requested and one for the "route flushall" command he wanted) for the two changes that looked possibly worth taking. Both of those are change requests, not bug reports. Of the other five changes on his hacks page, one is the famous wd diff which can destroy filesystems, one is allegedly from the PR database, one was from mycroft, one was an inappropriate hack to work around a real problem (disks spinning up when the atime on a pty device is modified), and one was marked as "you probably don't need or want this one [if you don't have a Gateway Handbook]"). Now, can we stop beating this issue into the ground?
