I see. I haven't been paying attention to how merge window timing works until now, so that's on me for not cleaning it up sooner for this cycle. My other concerns for this patchset still stand, though.

That gives me more time to clean it up and generally get it working better, so I guess it's a trade-off here. It's still missing some features I'd like to get in so I don't have to do significant refactoring later.
