Which is not making the review any simpler. In order to understand the
modifications I have to go back and page in the original stuff from last year
once again. So I have to read the original patch first to understand the
modifications and then get the overall picture of the new stuff. Please fold
stuff back to the proper places so I can start reviewing this thing under the
new design idea instead of twisting my brain around two designs.
