Thread-topic: c/s 21118: Magny-Coure breakage
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.24.0.100205
We're at an intermediate state in 4.1 NUMA implementation I would say. That
changeset can be revised as necessary in future patches, but I think it is
broadly correct in that it's adding the right kind of extra things to the
control interfaces. Since we have 6-9 months before 4.1 is released we don't
need panic about regressions just yet.
