I was not sure how long that would take or whether non-subscribers would just
get dropped to prevent spam. It does not hurt to be subscribed, so discussion
can go quicker.

They would be needed when trying to push the whole set, yes. On the other hand,
on a casual glance, these just seem to make some functionality that the first

If there is no issue without the two, my feeling would be, that going with the
single patch for stable/longterm would be better. To me things going there
should have a real functional benefit.
But probably I am overlooking something in the cleanup.
