Personally, I would have:

  - split the argument refactoring and the addition of the "-v" argument
    into two patches to make reviewers lives easier

  - just used a special timespec that means "don't change anything, but
    show show"

but I think those are mostly nitpicks, so I am OK with the series as-is.
