Okay, I give up. I tried to show you that I thought that Alban's partitioning made sense on its own, that they could (and should) stabilize independently, even if they technically build on one another. In fact, it was I who suggested to keep them in bite-sized patch series. And you simply disagree from your maintaining point of view, and I violently disagree with your decision from the reviewer's point of view. In the end, you win. Dscho
