I was waiting on PAUSE access and/or objections from Christine. Then I
was handed one of those Large Annoying Life Events which has just
started to settle down.

If there was anything sent to me from Feb 20th to about March 5th that I
can't read on a list archive, please resend!

I don't honestly expect to start major Prophet work until next month
unfortunately, but I will get a maintenance release out this weekend
(thanks for the PAUSE access Christine!)

I've only ever skimmed the docs of those modules in the past and was
never quite sure if I'd have a use for them. I'll certainly scrutinise
them with Prophet in mind.

Here's my OpenID for branchable, if someone can set me up:
