Eric, you say you disagree with the loopback vs. everything else
behavior, yet you're ACK'ing this.

Please don't say something like that because it is confusing and
I can't tell what you want me to do.

If you're willing to accept the series as is, say is: "Even though
I disagree with X, I'm ok with this series for now."

If you want changes before the series gets applied: "I want X
changed to Y, and with that I give my ACK."

Thanks.
