We're down to 9 such patches, and reading through them today there are none that I felt comfortable moving forward: either their state is unclear, or they are waiting for action from a *specific* core. However - 9 isn't a bad number for 'patches that the triagers think are ready to commit' inventory. So yay!. Also - triagers, thank you for feeding patches through the process.
