The merge window just opened so I don't think we are in an extreme
rush to get those in.

If you're worried about conflicts, I think the most potential for that
would be in the last two patches, so not much is saved in that regard
by taking the series apart.

I'm just going to resend the latest version with the acks you already
provided, and then Andrew can decide whether he wants to take the last
two as well right away, depending on testing and conflict resolution
preferences and on how optimistic he is that you'll agree with them ;)
