Or we just give up trying to present the series nicely and it hits mainline with a random stream of uninteresting and irrelevant afterthoughts at the end, like we're some lameo git users or something. (I could split all this up, but I'm getting kinda bored of preventing you from mucking up your own patch series) So... what course dost thou wish to take?
