Re: [platform-dev] 2.1.1 - 3.0M3 concerns

Hi Kevin --

Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed response.  I guess I asked the
questions 1) are these problems important enough to fix, and 2) is
someone trying to fix them.  Your answer seems to be "yes" to both, and
I'm glad to hear it.

I will put some more effort into making 41060 repeatable.  It should be
possible... although I have been unable to pin down a pattern, I somehow
manage to repeat it almost every day :)

I appreciate the recent activity on the other two and I'll keep working
with them.  It's much less stressful when I can see that there's someone
working on the problem!

As far as the other issues, I will follow your suggestion and submit
more issue reports.

Thanks again!
