Indeed, 2/3 of these patches ended up in my spam.

I'll add:

3. Your git base should be the base of where you want this to be pulled 
in, or prior. Yours was 4.1-rc7, and I'm not pulling in tons of 
unrelated changes for 3 patches. If you are targeting the next release 
and don't depend on existing block changes, then your base should be 
4.0. If you are dependent on changes in the block tree, the block tree 
should be your base.
