Hmm.  What about the further patches that I already have in the queue for
submission, just waiting for final testing/polishing?  Are you asking me
to rescind these now, and then have to reproduce the work later on (when
exactly?), or will it still be fine to get these approved and committed
in the near future (next days)?  Obviously, I'll strongly prefer the
latter, as I already have done most of the work, and as that's what I
understand to be the modus operandi we had agreed on.
