Sounds good to me.

Speaking of standards compliance, a few months ago (22nd April) I posted a
patch to correct what I have determined to be non-compliance with RFC 3078
when MPPE is used in statefull mode. There has been little feedback. Has
anyone looked at the code, verified the problem and ratified the solution?
If so, I'd advise that the patch, or something similar, is rolled into the
canonical patches.

You'll find my earlier posting in the archives, with subject "Patch:
making stateful MPPE comply with draft-ietf-pppext-mppe-05.txt".
