Julius,

For the future, write cover letter which describes why you are doing
this. You explained the "why" some time ago in responses, but all such
information should be in cover letter (plus the applicable part in the
individual patches).

Grepping through past emails to find "why" is unnecessary burden.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
