I was told that these enhancements really needed to get into v5.8, otherwise the OSV intercepts will be much further out. Certainly not of concern to you and not your problem, I am just answering your question as an explanation for my goal for inclusion into v5.8. It seems inappropriate that I have the title of maintainer and not be able to have patches considered for inclusion during an entire release cycle. I completely understand that you are under tremendous load and expect that you have an incredible amount of things demanding your attention. I was wrong to expect a higher level of visibility of these patches and I am sorry that I spammed you with this patchset. Reinette
