Yes, we have four more to go:
- the patch series (called "prepare-sequencer" in my fork) preparing the
sequencer code for the next patch series, such as revamping the parser
for the edit script (or "todo script" as I used to say all the time, or
"insn sheet" as sequencer calls it),
- the patch series ("sequencer-i") teaching the sequencer to parse and
execute the commands of rebase -i's git-rebase-todo file,
- the patch series ("rebase--helper") introducing the builtin, and using
it from rebase -i, and finally
- the patch series ("rebase-i-extra") that moves more performance critical
bits and pieces from git-rebase--interactive.sh into the rebase--helper.
I had originally planned to stop at rebase--helper and invite other
developers to join the fun of making rebase -i a true builtin, but the
performance improvement was surprisingly disappointing before the
rebase--helper learned to skip unnecessary picks, to verify that the
script is valid, to expand/collapse the SHA-1s, and to rearrange
fixup!/squash! lines.

Perfect!
