Great! Absolutely! The raison d'être of the MRI clone at The Code Shop is to have a common place for those interested to find/refine opts and have them accepted and committed back to MRI `trunk`. Our sly but secret scheme is to pre-backport those opts to `ruby_1_9_3` (see the current topic branches) so that they can be used more quickly rather than waiting for 2.0.0 ;) Luis did a lot of great work on core plumbing/API with fenix, Hiroshi Shirosaki has a nice patch for fixing a long-standing Windows IO issue, Dušan Majkić has a faster stat patch, and Yura and Xavier have interesting `require` opt efforts that appear to help regardless of whether your platform is Windows, Linux, or OSX. Who knows what's still to be found as more folks like Jarmo get interested. Jon --- Fail fast. Fail often. Fail publicly. Learn. Adapt.
