I figure that talking about this on the list is probably the fastest.

I happen to be in San Francisco for the Linux Foundation Collaboration
Summit, giving a talk on glibc, so if someone wants to have a face
to face talk about glibc on the 15th, 16th, or 17th, I'm happy to have it.

I agree with the points that Siddhesh has made here, that the results
are not conclusive. We are receptive to fixing things if people have
a good description of what's wrong :-)

Cheers,
Carlos.
