Thanks for this.  FYI I intend to commit this before 4.2rc1.  However
I think it has a good chance of breaking something (eg, the test
pushes).

So I want to wait until we don't have a big patch series also waiting
in staging.

I've marked the message to return but please do feel free to remind me
if I seem to have forgotten it.

Ian.
