That is a good idea, will do.

There are some files from upstream that we do not need, so they are
already deleted here (e.g. collections), thus what I will do is send
the first patch without those already and then another patch with the
modifications/additions we did. If you prefer to see the deleted files
in an intermediate step, I can also do that.

Exactly, I used the "kernel" string to have the additions clearly
marked. The `stable`/`unstable` attributes are required in the
standard library -- here the "1.0" is just a placeholder.

I will expand a bit on this in the split patches approach that you
suggest above.

Thanks for taking a look!

Cheers,
Miguel
