Yeah, that was my plan, and I ended up with that.

However, we still need to see how it actually goes -- we will see tomorrow.

If there are conflicts, then a new version is usually welcome, unless
the conflict is small or trivial (i.e. sometimes maintainers may do
the rebase for you and other adjustments -- a new version may not be
worth it, and it depends on the maintainer).

In this case, please wait a few days to see if you get more feedback,
and meanwhile the linux-next issue will be resolved one way or
another, so you can use whatever is in rust-next by then.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel
