Hi karthik,

Thanks for the swift reply and encouraging words!

Point taken. My recent experience with the 'setup.c' patch definitely 
taught me to respect the complexity of that subsystem. I agree that 
making it the primary target for the entire summer might be too risky.

I will follow your advice to dig into archives and log to study how 
previous contributors structured their changes.

Thank you again for the feedback!

Regards,

Yuchen
