A tl;dr of the relevant reply from me[1] is that I'm fine with this
being merged down as-is.

As noted I should have been clearer from the beginning, it was really a
"oh interesting, on my larger topic of memory leaks I did XYZ
differently" than "your XYZ here needs to be an ABC". Should the "ABC"
be worthwhile I can submit that on top.

I did suggest in [1] that maybe the question of "ABC" v.s. "XYZ" would
be better dealt with in some other series, i.e. just ejecting (if
possible) the memory leak fixes while at it from this larger
mostly-unrelated topic. But again, I'll leave whether you'd like to do
that to your judgement after you've caught up on mail.
