Hey Jeff, I'm not sure what a heat of 22 even means? I don't see any comments or suggestions in the bug report where lots of devs and/or users gave it a big thumbs up. I'm talking about getting some input on the concept and testing on a patch from other devs and users. I can't remember, did you supply a patch for this? I don't see one on the bug report. I need to review and test it at a minimum.
