If the first 6 patches of Jan's series are ready to apply, wouldn't it
make sense for him to submit that as a separate series?  In the very
least, I'd like an Ack from Jan before applying his series partially.

I just got the tail end of your series before heading off on travel on
Friday.  It still needs review and testing.

Of course, if a patches series included test cases for the functionality
it was implementing, it would certainly go a far way into reducing the
amount of time it took to test those patches :-)
