Please repost to take into account that this is confirmed to be working
as expected after the merge window and has not conflicted with anything
else that got merged in the meantime. This fell off my radar because of the
timing when it was posted and the volume of mail I was receiving. I simply
noted a large amount of traffic in response to the series and assumed
others had issues that would get resolved without looking closely. Now
I see that it was all comments on future work instead of the series itself.

Sorry.
