Seems holidays really were a good break! :-) Anyway, this series might be a bit late to go in for 3.12, but it has previously been discussed with you and Sam. If you feel it's too touchy for 3.12, then I believe it can easily wait for 3.13. If you want it for 3.12, I can send a pull-request if that's easier for you. Regards, Yann E.
