The first patch is already pretty long. I do not expect this to be
cherry-picked because it does not fix any existing bug (and if people
really want to cherry pick, then they just have to cherry pick both).
On the contrary, splitting makes it easier to review, I think.

Unless the maintainers as me to squash, I want to keep it as-is.


Yours sincerely,
