 Thanks! See my review in that ticket.

 > Also, there's no way this is making the 0.3.5 milestone, is there? Same
 with parent ticket.

 We're focusing on sponsored work until the feature freeze on Friday. This
 ticket is sponsored work, so it might get in to 0.3.5.

 Please be patient with us during the next few weeks. We appreciate your
 contributions, but we don't have enough people to review everything this
 week. We'll review your branches as soon as we get time.

 If you'd like to speed up reviews on your code, you can:
 * run Travis or Appveyor CI on your branches, and link to the CI in your
 tickets
 * make sure there are unit tests for any code that you add or modify
