No that just came in today. I might give it a go at some point. But
while the procedure is not complicated it will take several hours
anyhow.

I thought about getting back to the guy already to "promise testing",

not knowing when i get around to testing.
Maybe just strengthen the need again, but he has a good list of refs
under the pretty longish commit messages.
