Mickaël, I think since your patch set was not huge in the first place, I'm
considering making it part of rc2 pull request while I normally try to
avoid any features after rc1. It's anyway throughly tested, and generally
has been around for a *long time*. I've even tested it myself a few times.

Just trying to be responsible as a maintainer and if something does not
feel right, I don't  try to pretend that "I get it", if you know what 
I mean. This fully clarifies "not getting it" part :-)

Thanks!

BR, Jarkko
