Is anything preventing this patch from landing? It has Rob's ack and is
an improvement regardless of the fate of the rest of the series it is
part of. The patch was carried around unchanged in the last 10 versions
of the series, it would be nice if it could just get landed instead of
keep carrying it around :)
