Er, just to be clear, I was basically not the CF manager for the one that
began in October. I just showed up because I had some hours left and things
were not moving on for many patches. Now, and I think that nobody is
volunteering, I am fine to be the next CF manager for the one beginning on
Monday. That would help making things move on.
