I think we have a little bit of chicken and egg there, though. I'm having trouble reviewing the current work, because it's hard to evaluate whether it's doing the right thing without seeing the end state. So what I was suggesting in my earlier mails was that we actually _not_ try to merge this series, but use its components and ideas to build a new series that does things in a bit different order. Some of the patches here would end up thrown out, and some would get cherry-picked into the new series. And some would have some conflicts and need to get parts rewritten to fit into the new order. -Peff
