Borislav, if you don't want to be cc'd on these patches, then please
speak up. I'm sure Yu-cheng would be happy not to cc you.
But, seriously, he's churning through, responding to feedback and
improving the patches quickly. I only wish most patch authors did this.
And, despite breaking it up into 13 pieces, there is *NOT* a lot of
code here. There's no sane reason to wait a week between iterations.
I encouraged Yu-cheng to keep up with the current pace and not wait a
week between reposts, despite what you requested. Sorry. Just speak up
if you want off the cc.
