Minor nit, but the deadlock is the other way around: the rejection
showed up and our demuxer is blocked writing to a reader who does not
care about it.

Might be worth fixing since this text goes into the topic merge commit
(though I really hope nobody ever has to debug it enough ever again for
that distinction to matter :) ).

I think you are waiting for the Ack from the original author on your
tweaks. But FWIW, what you have queued looks good to me.

This one's getting pretty stale, but as I recall was pretty close to
done.  I'll try to give it a look in the next couple of days.
