Thanks; will queue them.

I however strongly suspect that we would be better off first kicking the
earlier parts of i18n topic out of 'next' back to 'pu', as I am hoping
that we can declare feature freeze for 1.7.3 by the end of this week at
the latest, and you can never tell if we got the "infrastructure" right
without playing with a real "user of the infrastructure" like this 17
patch series, which means that the part of i18n topic that is already in
'next' cannot be part of 1.7.3 --- it is way premature.

It was somewhat unfortunate and sad that your "test" series depended on a
few patches from the i18n series, which means it is now taken hostage to
the latter.  I'd rather want to have the "test" series in the 1.7.3, and
we need to think about a way to untangle the two topics.
