I'm not reading that email account of mine at the moment, and I'd hope
folk over there are already all over this.

I only logged in long enough to send out a happy new year to everyone.
I was prepping to spend a few days
finishing up the netem patches and maybe trying to submit cake again
before the submission window closed, and then I made the mistake of
inferring what the KPTI patches actually meant, and then this all
happened.

I'd like my vacation back, please.
