This is why I wanted them to go together, for completeness...

... but then Dinh suggested he takes it so... In any case, I don't care
who takes it. Normally I'd take them without much ado but I'd suggest
we make an exception this one time since I'm on vacation with flaky
interwebs connection and doing pull requests and merging patches doesn't
work as smoothly.

So Arnd, if you take it this one time only, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise
it'll have to wait until I get back.

Thanks.
