What I previously said wasn't a backhanded comment against you.

Let me rephrase the point I was making: in my estimation, the fact that
it touched core timing code means that you were (rightfully) much more
critical and skeptical of it.  In contrast, the submission of a new vf,
say, would very likely undergo less scrutiny because the range of impact
(or damage) is limited.

In any case, no hard feelings.  I understand now the problems with the
periodic update stuff, and regardless the whole overlay approach I
wanted to take is a bit obsolete given what today's hardware can do.

Cheers,
Jason.
