Thanks for the thorough review Kevin. I took the opportunity to quickly
get the merge out of the way. This does not mean that I am not accepting
further feedback and I will address the feedback you already provided now
in master.

For the record, a long lived branch can be painful to maintain, but for a
feature that can destabilize master I still think it is the way to go
(maybe now that it is merged, it doesn’t seem so bad).

Sumit.
