Just a quick status update.

I'm at ~18/25 patches reviewed.

I had a somewhat long discussion with Adhemerval on IRC about the new dual-time
ABI and the dropping of the __glibc_reserved* entries form the public ABI. This
is OK for the new ABI, but we must be careful we don't ever define __USE_TIME_BITS64
for any existing 64-bit time_t ABIs since it would be an ABI regression.

I'm out of time today, but I'll come back tomorrow to try finish the reviews.
