Also note that I did review your patch, and give you a reviewed-by for
it, which I think should have been carried over to v2 since Andrew's
comment was only concerning the formatting of the subject line. The
patch content is entirely fine. So, I'll give it again, so patchwork
gets the right information:

My comments about the unregistration are a separate bug that should be
addressed in a separate follow-on patch. Thanks.
