For that matter, I've been meaning to email the list to say, if anyone
wants to maintain a stable branch of 0.7.5 or 0.8.0, please let me know.
I can pull into say 0.7.5-stable from your github tree or something.

If several distros have older releases using roughly the same version,
it might help consolidate some effort.  My own focus however will be
on the bleeding edge (at least until I'm done with user and maybe
syslog namespaces) so I'll just be pulling, not porting patches that
don't apply cleanly.
