I didn't want to post my analysis to prejudice yours, and wanted to see 
if you came up with the same sequence of events in your review.  I'm not 
sure if this is the right approach.  How can we otherwise ensure that a 
review has some level of independence?

How far should we backport this fix?

Thanks,
