Sorry I did have the plan to fold them at some later time. I'll do a new version to fold the patches 16-25. 26-31 will be retained since they are logical enhancements that do not involve back-and-forth changes. 12 will be removed as it seems not absolutely necessary -- let the users do whatever they feel OK, even if it means make the throttling algorithms work in some suboptimal condition.
