Right, so I am bit nervous with these patches. Have you tested them
enough? I think they should go in v0.37, but I am not so sure myself.
I will trust your judgement on this one. Regarding 2 and 3, we have
carried such patches in the past, and I don't think it a big deal. At
the very least for any other distro its a good template to base on.
