I haven't yet moved the master branch, so I can update the patch set, but I'm going to need it soon. Can you let me know what changes you need to make? If it is to add new features or new sanity checks, does it make sense to simply make it as new commits to existing patch set? Or are there fundamental problems with the current set, that would be better to fix in the current set of commits? (Or is it just minor stylistic/spelling fixes?)
