Thanks, this was well done. A thoughtful merge with explanation for
why the conflict happened and why back-merge was done, and taking a
sane merge point (v4.15 rather than some random daily point).

Maybe the back-merge commit itself could have had a slightly more
complete merge message (the kind you had in the pull request here),
but that's a small nit.

So I thought I'd send out a "good job" email just as a contrast to me
having to sometimes complain about back-merges.
