I agree with Ceri, having a bug busting marathon during release
cycle is probably bad; however, insta-MFCs are probably not a
good thing anyway - even with single word fixes.  I'll be keeping
all of my changes in a new mailbox file.  Once release cycle is
over, the MFC will happen.

I think the doc count is below correct.  Ceri closed at least
4 IIRC, and I closed about 4-5 (some assigned to me).  But
whatever, we'll need to keep a "score board" next time.
