Don't rush. I like some testing time before we make the switch to 4.2
official. Remember, I had to reapply (mostly re-edit) my 200k patch by
hand because the 4.1patch didn't apply cleanly. So, 4.2 is basically a
"new" port. Let's give it a while to settle. It seems to work fine
*for me*, but outside confirmation is a good thing.
