So this patch is probably the RightThing(tm) to do, but it's really big and makes me nervous. And the fact that there was already one problem in the first version doesn't make me feel any more warm-and-fuzzy about it.
I understand that this kind of patch is nice to apply after the merge window has closed, but at the same time, it's now *too* long after the merge window closed, and even if it wasn't, I'd really like to feel like this has gotten more testing than it obviously has. Or some other guarantee that there isn't some other subtle issue hiding there.
So I am going through patches in my mbox, but I really don't feel safe enough about this one to apply it.
