I'm happy with any of these (and we have a longstanding rule that as long as a version of the pullreq was on list before soft freeze it's ok to apply before hardfreeze, even if it needed to go through a few versions or was otherwise a bit delayed). In practice, since I'm on holiday Mon/Tues and this hotel wifi is awful it's quite likely that I wouldn't get round to actually processing a pullreq with the TCG plugins in it before we all get a chance to talk face-to-face on Wednesday anyhow :-) Alex: I suggest you send out a pullreq with the plugins stuff (I've just applied your testing pullreq), and then we can make sure it gets over the "passes merge build/tests" hurdle. thanks -- PMM
