So an etiquette thing: I never actually gave an Acked-by. I did say it
looked good to me, and that probably should've been bundled with a
Reviewed-by, but it wasn't (I figured I'd wait for v2). Forging is bad,
m'kay.

When in doubt (e.g. someone says they're ok with your patch but don't give
any Ack/Reviewed-by), just ask via mail or on IRC.

For now, please make this a:
