No need to expand on the welcoming atmosphere here. My heinous plot to subvert the quality of Git has already been thwarted by making sure that its "meritocracy" continues relying only on input from those with an independent income. I'm just sticking around until my current contributions move into master so that I can summarize the resulting low-hanging fruit that the meritorious can then pick at great fanfare.

The sooner my work moves from pu into master, the sooner y'all be rid of me.
