I'm on the fence on how important it is to do these cleanups. IMHO they
are half of what really sells the change in the first place (since the
other bug can pretty easily be fixed without it).
Yes. I actually think these have much better value for their
complexity, compared to the other "half" of the topic ;-)
But maybe it is piling too much onto what is already a pretty big
change. The cleanups could be done individually later.
I am OK with that, too. But I do agree that the series is too big
to sit in front of a fix for a bug, for which a much simpler and
focused approach has already been discussed, to block it.
Thanks.
