Ahh, I see... I was under the impression that since Q4 is due it would 
be "good enough". I apologize and I'll cease to continue this effort as 
I don't have cycles, hardware and/or interest trying to also keep up 
with quarterly (additionally with no help). I'll just in best case file 
a PR and hope that someone else picks it up or if required mark things 
as broken and wait for a reasonable timeout.

Best regards,
Daniel
