Hello,
last week I send in a patch which creates io/io_private.h, but nobody replied to it. The classical Warnock's Dilemma. I have the strange feeling that its because nobody read my mail, because sometimes the p6i mailinglist does not like mail with attachments. But otherwise it made its way to http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.internals/17670 so somebody should have read it.
Actually I reviewed it and didn't have an issues so I didn't respond. I assumed you already had CVS commit access. If not, you should.
