No, I think it really looked like a potentially very nice cleanup already, 
with just a few nagging things that made me say "that's worse than it used 
to be".

Of course, it would be _really_ nice to see it as a series of smaller 
patches splitting things up a bit more incrementally, but I guess it's not 
a huge one even as-is.
