My take:

1/13 fixes a panic that should never be hit (that used to be a BUG,
which never fired in operation).

2/13 might be a candidate for 3.16-rc. It’s up to Trond.

5/13 doesn’t fix a regression, it always worked that way.

I’ve updated the “Fixes:” tag in these, will appear in v2 of the series.
