Usually when you have to enumerate things in a patch, that implies it
needs to be broken up into multiple changes.  Why isn't that necessary
here?

meta-comment, lines like this need to be deleted in the future.  Not
relevent here, but for future work if you want to add such a cleanup to
a patch series, I'd be grateful.

As Laurent said, this should be a separate patch.

No need to wrap the line.

Isn't this already set to 0?

And wait, this is still the bulk endpoint, right?  Or am I missing
something?
