Rockin', thank you. If you want to upload vmmouse, go for it. When I
commented it was probably not going to go for Etch, it's because NEW seems
to be backlogged so I don't think it'll get through in time, which is fine.
I'd personally rather have it sit in NEW though.

Yeah, let's focus on squashing the mass of important bugs we've already got
at this point. Also, if you want to keep updating stuff, branching to
experimental and putting 7.2 RC1 in is a very worthwhile project too.
