Actually, my initial request was to not include this one in the original 
batch (and I missed the fact he did) and then to send that one when the 
first series would be in.

However, This patch seems to work just fine with only the initial first 
5 that are pushed. So resending it independently was a good idea.

So despite the general confusion on various sides, the end result of 
Gábor sending this on its own ended up being pretty good. I've pushed 
this patch.

For the record, I would have preferred that part of the series to not be 
sent again as a V4. The V2 was still in review and no change had been 
requested to it. Having it resent is increasing list traffic, patch 
tracking work and confusion on my side for no visible benefit.
Kevin, any reason why you requested that ?

Cheers,
