Thanks, looks good. I'll take it however after merge window.

There are no dependencies between patches therefore you could limit
the amount of people you CC. You put specific "Cc" fields in patch but
you did not use them and sent it to 40 addresses. The CC in the patch
has exactly this purpose - do not send everything to everyone...

Best regards,
