Thanks for double checking! It's good that follow up fixes didn't fall
through cracks. Anyway I have to say that I find merging shortly after a
non-trivial rebase as risky and rushed through. I am not really
convinced this is so urgent to warrant such a step.

I hoped to get to it eventually and give it a deeper review because this
is a non trivial stuff. I am sorry but I couldn't have done that yet
(busy with other stuff and being OOO for quite some time).
