Please, as i asked in the previous mail, do not add logic changes to the
cleanup patch! Please keep it in a separate patch, after the big cleanup patch.

It will be very hard to debug if you find a regression in that cleanup patch:
since it also changes logic you do not know whether it's due to changed logic
or one of the cleanups having an unintended side-effect ...

Thanks,
