Hello Mauro,

How this is v4 different from the preceding 3 revisions that you sent
over the past 2 days?

I would expect an experienced maintainer like yourself to be familiar
with the common practice here: please leave some time between sending
revisions so people can take a look. And if there is a pressing need
to deviate from this rule, at least put an explanation in the commit
log of how the series differs from the preceding one.

Thanks,
Ard.
