You're too quick. I was delaying the patches for two reasons:

1) to ensure Jakub's nipa bot bug doesn't get me again.
2) build-testing the series, as I'd made a change... and unsurprisingly
   not waiting for that to finish, and sending the patches, immediately
   after sending it found a problem. :(
