Thank you!

Just one thing, I prefer that we don't add VTCs targetting a specific
bug, because once the bug is fixed, it has no reason for coming back in
the exact same form again, and the test clobbers reg tests for no added
value. However VTCs are convenient for local testing and backports. Thus
I think that in the future it could be convenient to either attach the
vtc separately, or more simply to add it as a separate patch. We do have
a REGTEST_TYPE=bug category already for this, though I am not convinced
it has ever brought any value to be honest (aside starting with something
at the very beginning). Where merged reg tests matter is with new features
as well as entire bug classes when it's identified that a recurring bug
keeps appearing (e.g. failing to check release memory on clean exit,
ignoring an extra arg on a keyword, etc).

As such, I'll review your patch series and will merge them without the
vtc, so just don't be surprised ;-)

thanks,
Willy
