There's just no way we're doing this much at this late in the process, particularly when these are a) not introduced in the 6.8 cycle, and b) we're not even a week away from the merge window. Doing them now for 6.8 would just further risk stability there, no matter how well it's tested, and it won't really reduce the time to stable anyway. Hence no, please add these to the 6.9 queue. -- Jens Axboe
