How about you put the UNIX -> bool patch at the end of the series,
(making it a 4 patch series) and if there's a discussion about it 
I'll just skip it and apply the first 3 patches?

In the (IMHO more likely) case that there isn't a discussion it saves
me from remembering to chase you to send that patch ;)
