Hi Peter,

Agreed that this patch series can be split into multiple orthogonal
smaller series. However, splitting this series into multiple series,
looking up to which maintainer to send each series and keeping track of
the feedback on each series will significantly increase my workload.

BTW, none of the SMTP servers I tried so far allowed me to post the
entire patch series at once.

Thanks,

Bart.
