Joe,

This is indeed good news, and shows that if you keep chipping away at 
the backlog, you can get to a satisfactory conclusion.

Now that we have achieved this goal, we need to be able to stay there. I 
presume that along with -Xlint:all, we also have -Werror, to make fatail 
errors from any future lapses.

Also, what is the "score sheet" across the other repos in the forest?
