Unless someone disagrees with this series, my intent is to apply it in
the next few days. For having worked on this topic, I know how much of
a pain it is to keep this series rebased on top of the latest master,
so I'd like to get this merged soon.

Therefore, if you disagree, please speak up now. If your only concerns
are typos or further possible improvements, then those can be addressed
once the series is merged, in patches of much more reasonable size.

Best regards,

Thomas
