I'm actually fairly convinced by the argument that it's not worth caring
about, particularly after the discovery that we'd maintained local patches
for years in this area.  So, at the least, don't worry too much about this
on my account; I think we can deal with our problems locally for the
remaining time that we're stuck with K4.  (We're getting some traction on
getting the project to move off of it approved, so I expect that within
three years we won't care any more.)
