No one's jumping ship, O fearless leader, sinless of the sinners, magnifikat of magnificence, holder of all our file handling hopes for the future. Thou art the kingdom and the glory of ... of ... of ... well, I hope you're enjoying the power of married life.
I merely find 117 minute turnaround for an off-hand "feature request" to be impressive. Bug fixes... fair enough - people usually run to squash them; requests usually require much muddling, debating, weighing of options, consultation with the stockholders, and generally time-off for funerals, marriages, and other tawdry things before anything of real substance gets done.
