Yes, I guessed that after the second mail and my implied point with 'I
have no idea what HSX16.1 is' was that it shouldn't be discussed on
public lists if it's not public.  I wouldn't discuss private Red Hat
repositories on the list -- if we actually had any, which we don't.

Now that the changeset has gone into a *public* repository, things
should be easier.  I just need this changeset to migrate to master.
