Sorry for all that. Apparently I need to get used a bit more to how things
are supposed to be done here. Please be patient with me for a bit :)

Of course. Sorry, missed that.

Ok, will do. Honestly I also prefer UniqueRef.

Are your sure? Wouldn't the patches have to be ordered like this?

    this patch (mine)
    rust: block: change `queue_rq` request type to unique (yours)
    rust: block: simplify reference counting scheme (yours)
    rust: for fix dec_ref for URef<Request> (mine)

IOW, the latter requests depends on the 2 patches of yours, while these depend on this patch. You know what I mean?

Best regards,

Oliver
