Sashiko behaved unusually.  "Note: The format of this report is altered
due to recitation restrictions.  Direct quotes from the original patch

Roman, what's that all about?

Thanks, I'll add this to mm-new for some testing.  Review is thin at

so I'm sure that will change ;)

I understand that there are some architectural/directional differences
amongst the team (or there used to be), so please don't be shy about
weighing in if you think we should be taking things in a different
direction.
