No probs, I added a note against this series.

There's also "tell Andrew stuff". It's very helpful!

In the ordinary course of things I expect I'd have judged this series
to be adequately tested and sufficiently well reviewed by sufficiently
familiar names so I'd have moved it into mm-stable.

But after learning of your concerns I've added a note and I moved the
series to tail of mm-unstable where it will be easier to drop or defer
should the need arise.

If drop-or-defer is to be the decision then please let's make that as
early as possible - we don't want non-merge-window material in there
perturbing testing or causing integration issues.
