Huge amount of development, but due to the speed of the work, it doesn't
get pushed upstream very often (like, every 18 months). Interesting to see
people who *want* to share with the community, but it's a lot of work that
you don't get credit for; it's sometimes better to use your time to fix one
more bug, rather than share the last bug fix with others...
