FWIW, this looks slightly different from the referenced repo again. :P
It might be good practice to create a -v# branch for patches sent to the
list and to keep that one stable for the associated review cycle.
That aside, I'm not quite clear where we stand with this patch. My
preference was to keep it unless there was some fundamental correctness
issue that I'm not aware of. I think your and Dave's preference was to
drop it. So either way, for posterity:
