Looks good.

Mind reminding me and re-sending the patches about this after the
merge window is over? Maybe around rc2 or so?

I definitely don't want to apply this while I'm still in the merge
window, but considering that it's almost entirely automated and should
be very safe - and to avoid conflicts during the _next_ merge window -
I'd actually prefer to merge  this early rather than late.
