Hi,
First off, in a followup message, the patch author claims to have received
a signed acknowledgement from RedHat -- hope this helps.
Second, would it make sense to modify the patch to make a third value for
codepage ("asis" or "none"), instead of making it a modifier?  From what I
understood, there should be no difference between "codepage=oem:con-asis"
and "codepage=ansi:con-asis", which, in my mind, calls for a separate
value name...
