In general, I like it.

If there's no complaints, I'd like to take all of the Documentation/ABI/
updates in for 5.10-rc2 at the least, to make it easier to build on top
of and to keep these types of mistakes from living longer than they
should be.  And make merging easier with other trees over time.
