I thought I sent out that reply, maybe I didn't. I dropped the
last three for two reasons:

1) They happened after the merge window, and it's really a feature
   addon that should have gone in earlier

2) There seemed to be confusion and discussion around the interface
   that needed to be resolved first.

Hope that explains it.
