As mentioned later in the thread[*], I dropped this series from the 6.13 queue
and will instead target 6.14.

I did however grab the no-strict-aliasing fix for 6.12, and tagged it for stable.
There's no reason to wait to land that commit, and I definitely have no desire to
ever debug that mess again.
