Hi Markus,

Just to let you know, it's never a good idea to send new patches out
during the merge window. They are most likely to be missed and
forgotten during this time. Unless they are critical bug fixes, it's
best to wait till after a merge window.

I wont be touching or even looking at these until after 4.12-rc1 is
released. Feel free to reply to this email with a ping in a week or two.

Thanks,

-- Steve
