Ok, I will give 1-2 days for the final round of feedback on RFC-v4, and
post the next series as [PATCH].  Please let me know if this should

Ok, so I will send out the 12 part series tagged as [PATCH], and will
include a full changelog in the first patch, intending for the rest of
the patches to be squashed into the first.
