What I meant was that it would have been better as a standalone patch that is unrelated to the (now) 8-patch topic for the external notes. That way, it can move faster without waiting for the rest. Unless this patch has complex semantic or textual conflicts that makes it easier to manage together with the external notes series, that is. I think adding [--notes=...] to one existing line (this patch) and adding a new line with [--[no-]external] on it (the main part of the topic) can be done in parallel and it is not too much to ask for the integrator to merge them on the receiving end. Thanks.
