Fundamentally okay, but I think the numbers should be dropped
(as they could easily become stale, since they reflect in the first
case just current state and in the second really just an
implementation detail). No strict need to re-submit (can be fixed
up upon commit), but I'd like to have your consent since this is
going to be under your name.
