OK. I glossed over that one kind of fast.

He e-mailed me and said he would try to submit something over the weekend.

I vote to hold off one release, as long as releases come quickly.
This version already has _lots_ of changes.
I would also like to hold the option open of re-merging the two
packages. The permissions thing is not such a big deal on an
embedded system; those systems that actually _have_ non-root users
would probably not need to give those users access to ping.
