Hi Russell

This all looks sensible.

One things we need to be careful of, is this is for net and so stable.
But only some of the patches have fixes-tags. I don't know if we
should add fixes tags to all the patches, just to give back porters a
hint that they are all needed? It won't compile without the patches,
so at least it fails safe.
