No problem, though I was secretly hoping you had the patches :)

What I ment was, has the situation stabalised? If there are patches
that work, lets get them in. But if they DRI stuff is in a phase
of broken/fixed on a weekly basis, I'd rather wait for the dust
to settle a bit. Or at the very least, for some patches to appear
on upstream's radar.
