Hi Greg,

My apologies for not being able to get to this patch series before the
patch window opened --- this week has been crazy. None of the changes
seem to be especially critical, and a number of the patches don't
apply cleanly to the random.git tree (some of the spelling fixes have
already been fixed, for example), which has patches queued up for the
upcoming merge window. So I'm going to defer applying these patches
for 2.13, and I'd ask you if you'd be willing to rebase these patches
against the random.git tree, so they can be pulled in after the merge
window closes.

Thanks,

- Ted
