I forgot to CC arch-projects, but this might be interesting for all devtools contributors. Given that Pierre seems to be kind of swamped the last couple of weeks, I created a convenience branch where I merge all patches that I consider to be ready for master (just to simplify Pierre's job and hopefully speed things up a bit).
