"send it later" could be read a couple of ways.

I was just worried that Thomas is holding off asking Linus to pull
because he's waiting for part 2/3, while you might be planning to
hold onto part 2/3 for the next merge (and add the other cleanups
you RFC'd).

I'm OK either way on part 2/3 (it just makes for better error messages,
it doesn't fix any bugs).
