Can you send at least some of the fixes independent of patches that have API/ABI or functionality impacts, or are dependent on patches that will require more careful review? In particular, if there are any fixes that might lead to data loss or be significant in some way (potential security issues, etc.) sending them independently, preferably against the maint branch, would be a good idea, so we can get that into a 1.42.x maintenance release.
