Good, I'll try to allocate some time to review that this week.

I'm actually surprised to see more commit flying in there. I should have 
expected it though, as the people working in there traditionally did it in an 
isolated fashion (I found its existence out of pure luck back in the days) and 
it's apparently there for some distro use which moved to udisks recently (and 
then needed to update it).

Now if some code can be borrowed from there I'm all for it. Design wise it's 
not what I want to see landing in upstream though.

Regards.
