Up to Catalin, since he's handling the 4.8 merge window. It would be really
nice if you could give us the heads up about dependencies like this in the
future, preferably *before* the base part has already been merged. That way,
it's easier to create shared topic branches and gives us more options if
we think that conflicts are likely to occur.
