When they are suitable for Marcelo, I'm going to send them to Marcelo.

As I wrote in the quoted message, they need some more patches, and I'm
also interested in feedback from Intel Q/A (which is scheduled for
sometime this week).

If you are interesting in maintaining 2.4.x patches for a short time, go
for it. But I would rather not have a almost-ready e100 go to Marcelo
and get released in 2.4.19 in incomplete form. It's out there, it's
public, let's leave at that for a little while.
