 I have some other changes to linux_base-8 in my mega-patch too. Some of those
 don't need a delay too, but since the "bugs" are there very long, it doesn't
 hurt to wait until portmgr is able to test the complete patch. Since the
 above patch doesn't fix the complete issue (at least not on amd64), and
 since nobody stepped up to commit it yet, I offered to include the fix in my
 patchset.
 
 I don't mind if you (or someone else) commit the above patch now.

 Agreed.
 
 While discussing this: Since your ARCH cleanup touches alot of ports and is a
 candidate for testing on the cluster, shouldn't we merge our patches and just
 let portmgr test the entire patchset? This may reduce the amount of conflict
 resolution work needed in case one patch hits the tree while the other is
 between two test runs.
 
 I will sync my patchset at the weekend (friday in the evening or
 saturday/sunday in the morning). Feel free to send a corresponding diff for
 integration to me.
 
 Bye,
 Alexander.
