The series is ready to go from my perspective.

Note that I've sent a minor reroll to address a CI flake that Peff
reported in [1]. I don't think that we need to fix regeneration of the
MIDX for now, as this is not a new problem. But it's something that we
may want to address in the future so that we don't regenerate the MIDX
in case we know it won't change anyway.

Thanks!
