Sounds great.  I'll skip the testing, in that case, since it will probably
be wiped out soon anyway.

Should an enhancement ticket be filed for this, or does someone just want to
take it?  I suppose I could take it, but since I have my own branch, trunk
won't see it until the end of the summer, and it's not really related to my
project anyway.
