Awkward in the sense that only those two commits are doing it, whereas
the rest of the series is not. Not awkward in any other sense that you
seemed to have divined based on your oversized punctuation below.
Fortunately, at your suggestion for v7, I've now done the splitting
for all of the other places, and so I the comment in the dev tree a
few days ago, since it's now done consistently across the patchset.

As explained above, that's not what I meant at all.
