Oh, yeah. Forgot about that one, but its so uncontroversial I didn't see
the harm.

The same lines were touched in 25/30 and I didn't want to sneak the
change in there, as it felt dishonest to do so.

I may have misunderstood, but you wrote:

"From this series I reviewed patches 1 upto and including patch 15, and
patches 29 through 34. Please rework those as requested and resubmit
them. Please also resubmit the remaining patch after that"

I took that to mean you wanted a respin that included 1-15 and 29-34.

- That would have been 21 patches on its own, but a couple of the later
ones drew in dependencies, and you asked me to break up a couple of
others, eg. whitespace.

Thats how we arrived at 30 patches again. I'm not attempting to take the
piss, I swear :)

I do appreciate the review. I've replied to your emails on the v4
series, so if you have a question as to why I've done something, you may
well find the answer there.
