I'm almost done with prepping v9 and atm there is a 17 line introduction of the problem which is shared between all 3 patches in the commit msg. I personally don't think this is too bad, but feel free to shorten it a bit in patch 2 + 3 before merging these. I think the split makes sense, so I would prefer you amending the commit msg over squashing them back together again. Regards, Hans
