Sorry unclear here - does the series need more work or does a follow up patch
need more work?

Follow up!

Ok good as in mm-stable now. Sadly means I don't get to review it but there we
go.

Well, this was sent 6 weeks ago, at v6!

Yup I know, I've struggled to clear my backlog.

But please go ahead.  If review is very bad, there's git-rebase
(happens sometimes) or some followup fix and a minor bisection hole
(happens a bit more often).

And those followup fixes will trickle in all the way out to 7.1-rc7,
via the hotfixes path.  This happens a great deal - about half(?) of
hotfixes pertain to material we added in the current -rc cycle.

Well given the other tags it's unlikely that would happen, so it doesn't feel
really worthwhile at this point.

Really I guess I'd like to know the timing of when mm-stable is taken so I can
know the deadline for stuff like this.

Thanks, Lorenzo
