All for it. I feel bad when you and others contribute tricky C++ package updates and they remain in the patch queue for weeks or months. (Speaking of which, I hope you also get commit rights soon, which should help boost this team=E2=80=99s work.) Thanks for all the work so far and for the exciting perspective! Ludo=E2=80=99.
