The examiners' reports arrived back today. They were suitably impressed. In fact, I am surprised at how much.
"His investigations are at the forefront of [the area] and will have a significant influence on the field... ...[The] thesis is of high quality and without question he should be awarded the title 'Doctor of Philosophy'."
"The thesis from the very beginning to the very end is of outstanding quality."
Despite this, one reviewer suggested 95 changes to the document. The University will enforce a large fraction of those be made before any degree is conferred.
Nothing about any stage of this document has been easy. So I consider it completely appropriate to bask however briefly in the (small?) amount of pay off that results from its submission.
