All our blueprints are up and in review cycle so we made good on our August 22nd deadline. Now all we need to do is get these patches in good enough shape we can comfortably put them forward. If folks are getting stuck, feel free to drag me into it and I'll try and get the parties to the same page. The order of the day is *reviews* *reviews* *reviews*. Go team!
