A link would be fine. It wouldn't make everybody uninterested in this
topic but subscribed to the list download 1M file.

Speaking is about where it usually stops. It's been very disappointing.
Usual scenario is that we get lots of discussion to do sth, everybody is
dissatisfied with current status and when I spend huge chunk of my
personal time to fix it, nobody is there to even review the patches.
That's understandable: otherwise what will we speak about next time if
the issue is solved? Still it's disappointing and I have better things
to do with my personal time than making patches nobody cares about.
The top of rename stack is at 7185. It's automated test and Stefan
agreed to it in principle in Prague, yet it's sitting there for already
3 weeks.
