I'm building a world with it right now, and with it in the MAC tree, we
should have a bunch of people using this change within the next two days.
If the interest is in holding off for more testing, two more days should
give quite a bit of feedback.  In fact, I hope to finish building this
world shortly and use it to try building a kernel, since one of my build
boxes is not very useful due to being unable to build a kernel :-).
