Thanks for the reviews, Konstantin!

For the record, I wasn't aiming at this release, next is just fine.

While having the attention of both of you:
Downstream has diverged quite a bit compared to upstream, is there any
ongoing work to upstream the missing bits?

Konstantin, since the discrepancy got pretty big I guess most users are
currently using a downstream release. Is there any chance to get this
set in there? I already got these patches against that tree if it helps.

Thanks,
Andre
