I briefly looked at the series; the following may be ready to be

For now however I'll wait and see for a while, in case you can
reproduce the breakage Uwe found and add fixes to your set.

I've not had any more trouble with this since, but I'm still worried
that the http fetcher is rather fragile. :-(

What was wrong with 3/9, by the way?  (It's the abort_active_slot patch
-- which does fix a real bug.)

I saw Nick raised an alternative and you responded but I did not
see Nick agreeing or disagreeing to it, and I haven't spent
enough time on that to convince myself which way to go.  That is
why.

Maybe this weekend.
