I'm not sure that other patch will get in; AFAICS it's incomplete and
rather controversial. But I guess we could put this issue on the
open-items list so we don't forget.
Anyway, once the release dust settles, I'll try to do a proper review
of this patch. It'd be good if we could get it in this week before
the CF starts, so that any affected patches could be rebased.
